I give a great thanks to General
Dwight D. Eisenhower for leading the brave troops into battle, even when most
thought that victory would be impossible. Those brave soldiers had much to
fight for. Future people will look upon this day as one of hope, tragedy, and
vigorous stamina. Even before the first regimens landed on the beach, the
bombers and the jumpers who landed on Juno, Gold, Omaha, and Sword were equally
brave, although I fear they will not be remembered as much. Don’t fear as long
as people remember, whether few or many, nothing will have been done in vain. The
general’s plan was ambitious, yes; however sometimes ambitious is the only
strategy you have in a fix like this. It was complicated and difficult, and that’s
just enough. In a tactical standpoint, brilliant. Even Hitler would be jealous!
Now you know, Axis, just what we are made of.
~Winston
Churchill
