Jim's Quote of the Day:
"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
giving the D-Day invasion order for June 6, 1944
