General Douglas MacArthur was an American war hero. He was born   28.     a family with a long tradition of serving in the military. MacArthur went to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated with distinction. On his first   29.    , he was sent to Asia, and later he served in Central America and Europe. In 1941, MacArthur was   30.     commander of United States Army Forces in the Far East, where he performed his most   31.     feats.
     Battling in the Pacific, MacArthur wrote this prayer for his only child. Although his child didn’t   32.     and studied art instead, this prayer remains a significant piece of writing. It uses beautiful language and shows a great man’s high    33.     for his son. Actually, this prayer is   34.     a letter addressed to God          34.     a message to all youth.Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong   35.     to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid.Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be. Lead him not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the   36.     and spur of difficulties and challenges.And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of   37.    , so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously.Then, I, his father, will dare to whisper, “I have not lived in vain!”
