Praise The Lord & Pass The Ammunition

[Grant Barrett]

Barry Popik posted about "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" in
1999 (<http://tinyurl.com/a78hb>).

Here's another source attributing the phrase to the same Mr. Forgy:

<http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/montereyherald/news/13348330.htm>

"She owns an autographed copy of Navy Chaplain Howell M. Forgy's
memoir, '...and Pass the Ammunition'--Forgy coined the phrase 'Praise
the Lord and pass the ammunition' during the Pearl Harbor attack."
