"Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great
and noble undertaking.”
 Dwight D. Eisenhower

 

“God almighty, in a few short hours we will be in battle with the enemy. We do not join battle afraid. We do not ask favors or indulgence but ask that, if You will, use us as Your instrument for the right and an aid in returning peace to the world.”

Lt. Col. Robert L. Wolverton, commanding officer of 3rd battalion, 506th PIR
