SSgt Robert Marx, apparently it was a chaplain who first uttered the words during the attack on Pearl Harbor that was the basis for the song. PO3 Steven Sherrill

"Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" is an American patriotic song by Frank Loesser,[1] and published as sheet music in 1942 by Famous Music Corp. The song was a response to the attack on Pearl Harbor that marked United States involvement in World War II.

OK! I recall reading about it being used at Pearl Harbor. So much valor was displayed then, with many service members giving their all for the country. I believe that chaplain was aboard one of the battleships as its crew moved to get the anti-aircraft canon operating. All of the ammunition was locked up being peace time.
