Arranging Mother's house for sale, I found the 1942 New Testament available to soldiers from the US govt. The front page is a letter to all from FDR March 6, 1941. It is in great condition for being maybe 80 years old. Dad served until 1947 in the Veterinary Corps

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view

That’s a pretty cool find.
Any ideas on what you are going to do with it?

Can you post pictures? I'm interested. I especially want to know if it came from the Gideons International. They're the ones who place bibles in hotels. They also hand out bibles to recruits on their way to boot camp. I got mine handed by a little old lady as I stepped up into the bus in Oakland on the way to San Diego.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
