Fort Commander
Issues Message
Men of Fort Greely:
The Japanese and their Allies
have forced upon us a situation
which is grim and se ious.
Great responsibility has been
placed upon us. We accept these
responsibilit-'es gladly and with
confidence. Each one of us will
resist our common enemy with
every ounce of strength we have.
The little island of Guam has
held out against an intensive
enemy invasion and I am inclined
to think that we have many ad
vantages here which Guam does
not have.
The Japanese are clever and
cunning. They will catch us oB
our guard if they can. An ap
propriate time for their attack
against us might verv probably
be on Chirstmas Eve, on New
Year's Eve or on payday.
While we must be ever watchful,
we want to live as nearly normal
as we can. We must ever remain
proud that we are soldiers and
we must wear our uniform in a
way that marks a good soldier.
It is desirable that all of us in
turn have some relaxation. Some
of us must watch while the re
mainder obtain the necessary
rfest, but all of us must be ready
on short notice to accomplish any
task assigned.
We will precede with our
many tasks confident in the
assurance that ultimate victory
will be ours.
