"BY HIS PATIENT, SYMPATHETIC LABORS WITH THE MEN, DAY IN, DAY OUT, AND THROUGH MANY A NIGHT, EVERY CHAPLAIN I KNOW CONTRIBUTED IMMEASURABLY TO THE MORAL COURAGE OF OUR FIGHTING MEN. NONE OF THE EFFORT APPEARS IN THE STATISTICS. MOST OF IT WAS NECESSARILY SECRET BETWEEN PASTOR AND HIS CONFIDANT. IT IS FOR THAT TOIL IN THE CAUSE BOTH OF GOD AND COUNTRY THAT I HONOR THE CHAPLAIN MOST."
