"We know the deep waters of suffering through which Serbia has passed and our sympathies not only, but our profound friendship and an eager desire to help, follows your courageous people through every state of the present tragical course of the war. I am sure that justice to Serbia stands at the very top of any program of justice in the thoughts of every thinking and patriotic man in the United States" - President Woodrow Wilsons telegram to Nikola Pašić, July 31st, 1918
