DECEMBER 25
CHRISTMAS DAY
1942
From their headquarters in the field, James Cushing and Harry Fenton, leaders of the local resistance against the Japanese, issue a leaflet in the form of a Christmas prayer asking the Lord: “…lead us by Thy flaming sword, oh Lord, to fight Thy battle…Lend Thy shield and Thy armor to the gallant boys over here. We are Thy children…and this is our prayer: May soon the forces of evil fall on their knees.”
