Let us pray that peace be now restored to the world, and that God will preserve it always.

It seems to me the worst possible concept, militarily, that we would simply stay there, resisting aggression, so-called...it seems to me that the way to "resist aggression" is to destroy the potentialities of the aggressor to continually hit you...When you say, merely, "we are going to continue to fight aggression," that is not what the enemy is fighting for. The enemy is fighting for a very definite purpose-to destroy our forces...

I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander.

I am of Virginia and all my professional life I have studied of Lee and Jackson

I came through and I shall return.

The Pacific no longer represents menacing avenues of approach for a prospective invader. It assumes, instead, the friendly aspect of a peaceful lake. Our line of defense is a natural one and can be maintained with a minimum of military effort and expense.

The scale and grandeur of the Russian effort mark it as the greatest military achievement in all history.
