nai- ni ce and combat patrols. Al-
though operating over difficult
terrain, behind enemy lines, and
in exceptionally bad weather, at
times in blindintr snowstorms, and
frequently encountering heavy
enemy resistance, oy reason of the
r<kill. alertness, ami devotion to
duty of Private Osborn and the

ed important information of ene-
my strength and disposition, cap-
tured a number of prisoners, and
inflicted heavy casualties upon the

CONGRATULATIONS BOYS!
We only wish it were possible for us to shake the
hand of every soldier, sailor, flyer, and marine—to tell
each of you personally how proud we are of you, and
how grateful we are for what you have done.
Our pride in you is matched only by our pride in the
freedoms for which you so courageously fight. Your lot
has been deadly, bloody battle—calling for unsurpas-
sed valor and stamina. The gratitude due you can be
seen in the happy faces of the shackled peoples you
have freed—in the hope you have reborn in the hearts
of all liberty-loving men.
It was a job well done, boys!
For some of you, the war is over, and you will be
coming home. We are happy for you, and we will wel-
come you back. Many of you will be sent on to meet
the Japs, in the final effort we must make, before a
final peace can come. Our prayers and our support
will go with you; we will back you in every way pos-
sible to speed that victory and your safe return.
And there are those who will never know the glory
and the honor that is theirs; they will not be coming
home again. We bow our heads in grateful reverence
to their memory, and dedicate our every effort toward
hastening the end of the war and building a lasting
peace, that their sacrifice may not have been in vain.
Freedom for all the world shall be their monument.
