Rx for Winning WWIII
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 – 1945), 32nd President of the United States
To the Armed Forces:
As Commander-in-Chief I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed forces of the United States. Throughout the centuries men of many faiths and diverse origins have found in the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel and inspiration. It is a fountain of strength and now, as always, an aid in attaining the highest aspirations of the soul.
Very sincerely yours,
(signed) Franklin D. Roosevelt
