Marge Hill-field- er ' "We are determined that before the sun seta on this terrible struggle, our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol ot freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming power on the other." Extract from address by General Marshall to graduating class at West Point, May 29, 1942. - Thanksgiving Day, 1943 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day for Hill Field and for America. We join the entire nation in rejoicing and giving thanks for the uncounted blessings which have been ours in the year just past. We join our farmers and agricultural, workers in praise for the bounty of our crops. We join the workers of our country in thanking Almighty God that our national will is implemented by our incredible industrial power. We are humble and grateful that we are America, that we are free, that our cause is righteous, that we have seen the turning of the tide of war and within a reasonable length of time a victorious peace is sure to be ours. What a change has taken place since our last Thanksgiving! Then we had barely recovered from the terrific shock of Pearl barriers, Harbor, the loss of the Philippines, of our and the enemy was on the North American continent in the Aleutians. True, we had made a stand in the Solomon Islands, the battles of Midway and the Coral sea had helped block the sea lanes to Jap aggression, and our forces with those of Great Britain had made their landings in North Africa, while allied strength had cracked the Aleutian line. But the final outcome of all these still hung in the balance, and the submarine war in .the Atlantic was costing us a terrific toll of men, ships and supplies. And on the Russian front the battle for Stalingrad was far from its historical decision. We were thankful then that we had time to build "and equip our armies, our merchant marine, our air force, our naval striking power. We were thankful then that we had not lost the war. We could not yet be thankful that we had won it. . mid-Pacif- ic On Thanksgiving day, 1943, despite the tremendous cost in treasure and in human life, despite the conviction that the battles which will conclude the struggle are yet to be fought, we can be deeply humble and forever grateful that no human power can ... no human power but cheat us of our great national destiny our own. In the hands of resolute men and women, girded by an irrevocable determination to do the job well and quickly, we have now the instruments of success; Our tools have been and are being forged. Those charged with their use in battle have been and are being trained and their strength and numbers preclude a question of the ultimate outcome. The tide at long last has turned. It is running at terrific speed against our enemies. We are grateful that finally we have the awful and unimaginable air power to devastate their cities and their factories and command the air while our civilian population knows the conviction of comparative security. It is good this Thanksgiving day to know that our right arm Is strong and we know how to use it. Hill Field collectively and as . individuals will join in these larger aspects of our national gratitude. For we have played a part In all this. It is the hands and brains of our workers who are supplying and repairing our planes, providing and installing the parts, testing and checking the mechanisms upon which our fighting men in the air rely. We are packing the parachutes, shipping the equipment, mending the bullet holes. In. miles we are far from war; In hours we are close to it We are grateful that we had a major assignment to perform for our armed forces in the past year; and we are grateful that we have been able to creditably discharge our obligation day by day to our government in the hours of its greatest peril.
