From JCS for MacArthur.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff are proud of the great
successes you have achieved. We realized that they would
have been impossible without brilliant and audacious
leadership and without the full coordination and the
fighting spirit of all forces and all arms. From the
sudden initiation of hostilities you have exploited to the
utmost all capabilities and opportunities. Your
transition from defensive to offensive operations was
magnificently planned, timed and executed. You have given
new inspiration to the freedom-loving peoples of the world.
We remain completely confident that the great task entrusted
to you by the United Nations wi 11 be carried to a successful
conclusion.
