The Soldier, Above All Other People, Prays

We Have Known The Bitterness Of Defeat And The Exultation Of Triumph, And From Both We Have Learned There Can Be No Turning Back. We Must Go Forward To Preserve In Peace What We Won In War. A New Era Is Upon Us. Even The Lesson Of Victory Itself Brings With It Profound Concern, Both For Our Future Security And The Survival Of Civilization. The Destructiveness Of The War Potential, Through Progressive Advances In Scientific Discovery, Has In Fact Now Reached A Point Which Revises The Traditional Concepts Of War.

People Of The Philippines: I Have Returned. By The Grace Of Almighty God Our Forces Stand Again On Philippine Soil—soil Consecrated In The Blood Of Our Two Peoples. We Have Come Dedicated And Committed To The Task Of Destroying Every Vestige Of Enemy Control Over Your Daily Lives, And Of Restoring Upon A Foundation Of Indestructible Strength, The Liberties Of Your People.

Worry, Doubt, Fear And Despair Are The Enemies Which Slowly Bring Us Down To The Ground And Turn Us To Dust Before We Die.
