As we were doing our Bible reading tonight - we discovered something in a New Testament Bible that was with a paratrooper in World War II. In the front of the Bible is a message from President Franklin D Roosevelt to all the Armed Forces. It reads as follows: JANUARY 25, 1941 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 HUMAN SOUL. VERY SINCERELY YOURS, FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT
