In this day of gathering storms, as moral deterioration of political power spreads its growing affection, it is essential that every spiritual force be mobilized to defend and preserve the religious base upon which this nation was founded; for it has been that base which has been the motivating impulse to our moral and national growth. History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awaking to overcome the moral lapse or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster. ---- General Douglas MacArthur, December 1951

This is a great quote.
I was watching this documentary on the life of Douglas MacArthur. When MacArthur was very young--like around 2 years old--this epidemic hit their area. Many little boys and girls died of this epidemic, but MacArthur wasn't even touched. His mom remarked that the Lord had his hand on young Doug MacArthur's life and that he would go on to do great things.
I think MacArthur's exploits in World War I were absolutely incredible.
