If you look at my ID page, you will see that I have posted General Patton's famous "Weather Prayer" which he commissioned his chaplain to compose during the Battle of the Bulge and the seige of the US 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne.

The weather was lousy for days on end meaning that the US couldn't send its Air Force bombers into the sky to attack the German forces surrounding Bastogne. The "Weather Prayer" was Patton's attempt to get divine intervention to clear up the weather so the US planes could fly.

It worked. The weather cleared, the planes flew, the 101st Airborne was rescued, and the German advance was crushed. The date was right around Christmas Day, 1944.

In these days, Patton would be thrown out of the army, mentioning God??? How dare he....
