Peace has at last returned to our war-weary world. This is an hour of consecration. [slow ZI to MS, SOT continues] Our thoughts are with our heroic dead. Victory is theirs. We think of them with reverential thoughts today"; Mentions Jesus Christ, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Roosevelt and Quezon (Manuel); "The last of the Axis Powers has been vanquished. This is the day that we must think that that victory is due not only to the superior power of our arms but also to the irresistible force of those ideals and principles that have galvanized the cause of the United Nations and have asserted the supremacy of freedom and democracy over fascism and totalitarianism."
