The trail of your accomplishments is blazed on the map of Europe and engraved im- perishably in the pages of history. Through France, Germany on into Austria you forced your way, thrusting the vaunted German forces aside.
Fighting across 18 major rivers and scores of smaller streams you have accomplished some of the longest sustained marches in the history of warfare. You have liberated or conquered more than 31, square miles of territory, including cities and towns and 4, inhabited places.
You have captured , enemy soldiers and killed or wounded at least 89, others. The pathway to our goal has been costly and the blood of dead and wovinded com- rades marks our way to the liberation of Europe. Let us remember their sacrifices as we exalt in the victory of our arms. Let us prove to them by our conduct now that they did not die in vain; that we have the fortitude to put aside selfish interests and carry on with firm justice and resolute determination to irrevocably crush the Nazi menace and establish freedom and right in war-torn Europe.
