78th Anniversary of D-Day
D-Day Orders, JUNE 6, 1944,
Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight Eisenhower sent nearly 100,000 Allied troops marching across Europe to defeat Hitler's National Socialist Workers Party:
"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade ... The eyes of the world are upon you. |
|
... The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people every- where march with you ...
You will bring about ... the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe ... |
|
... Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened, he will fight savagely ...
As we embark upon this sacred endeavor let us beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." |
