Thread Name: Lyr Req: Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: praise the lord and pass the ammunit
Didn't know there was a song about this. I've always known it as a quote from Howell Forgy, an army chaplain, during the battle of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

Things were looking pretty bleak and someone asked him something to the effect of "What're we going to do now?"

His reply was "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."

cheers,
