May 29, 1943 — almost 86 years ago to this day, the words below were scribbled down with pen and paper, on the shores of North Africa. The author was US Army soldier Private First Class Gilbert Menzel, 23, of Thorndale, Texas: “There is nothing I enjoy reading or hearing more than the Word of God. I can truthfully say that the Lord has heard and answered my prayers in the past and has been with me with His protecting hand and has kept me from all harm and danger of battles. Whenever there are no church services to attend, I enjoy reading my Service Prayer every Sunday. I have read it over and over, but never get tired of reading it. I agree very much with the other soldiers that wrote you from overseas that a soldier appreciates church much more when away from home than when he has a chance to go to church every Sunday. Most of the services which I have attended, since I have been over here, were held right under the open sky and the soldiers just flocked around, and their hearts seemed to be touched much more than when back home. At least mine was.”
