07Kate Smith Prayerfor Our Troops

It's high noon in New York and time for Kate Smith, who will be brought to you every Tuesday and Thursday during your summer by the makers of Suregill, America's fastest-selling powdered, tech and product. Here she is, Kate Smith.

Hello everybody. Today is a day that no living American can ever forget, invasion day, forged into our consciousness in letters of fire. It marks the pinnacle of weeks and months and years of anguish preparation, the consolidating of our mighty forces. This is the hour of the death blow to those our enemies who have spread evil, sorrow, and suffering like a black shadow across the face of this earth.

This is the day of reckoning when America and her allies go forward to the terrible task of stretching completely and forever the enemy who for four and one half years have ravaged one helpless nation after another. This is the day that must mark the beginning of the downfall of Nazi Germany, and the downfall of all those who have sanctioned and aided the brief

reign of terror, the cruelty, insanity, and arrogance of Hitlerism. Let the blow be fixed and sure. Let us be strong and unsnorting in purpose, strong in the assurance that we go forward in a cause which is right, in the liberation of the oppressed, and the restoration of human GCC and dignity from the forces of evil.

This is invasion day, liberation day. Here at home we should be thought our radios, eagerly hanging on each word of news that flashes across an ocean around the world. We're filled with a conflict of many emotions, fear, excitement, and hope.

But these emotions will not help those whom we most desire to help. They will not carry our brave fighting forces forward unless we harness those thoughts and guide them and use their power to forge an invincible weapon against the foe.
