For some reason this evokes to me the words of General Patton in this holiday season...

"Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations."

I'm a hardened old combat, crying like a baby. This just brought back some of those memories that had been put away long ago. God bless these people, God continue to give them the strength to be there for our troops.

[Fledermaus]

And it worked. They had clear weather and crushed the Germans that battle.
