Each time someone stands up for
an ideal,
or acts to improve the lot of
others,
or strikes out against
injustice,
they send forth a ripple of
hope.

 You will bring about the
destruction of the German war
machine, the elimination of Nazi
tyranny over the oppressed peoples of
Europe, and security for ourselves in
a free world. Your task will not be
an easy one. Your enemy is well
trained, well equipped, and
battle-hardened. He will fight
savagely....The free men of the world
are marching together to victory. I
have full confidence in your courage,
devotion to duty, and skill in
battle. We will accept nothing less
than full victory. Good luck, and let
us all beseech the blessings of
Almighty God upon this great and
noble undertaking.
~~ General Dwight D. Eisenhower;
D-Day Orders, June 6, 1944
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that,
an' "Chuck 'im out, the brute!"
But it's "Savior of 'is country" when the
guns begin to shoot.
~~ Rudyard Kipling
