You're quite correct. Also, he prepared a communique before the landings to be used in the event of failure - in which he took the blame for it. I always liked that guy!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

And to think over 10,000 young men died so 0bama could be President. I think I’m gonna be sick.

"There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you WON'T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in Louisiana. No, Sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say, Son, your Granddaddy rode with the Great Third Army and a Son-of-a-Goddamned-Bitch named Georgie Patton!" ~ General George S. Patton, Jr

Eisenhower knew full well what went into D Day and all that came before and after. He was a a planner and diplomat who could bring many difficult personalities together. Eisenhower cared for the lives of the soldiers and was one himself.

In short, Eisenhower was everything Obama is not. D Day is a good time the thank those who went before us.

His secretary spoke to our church group. She is absolutely amazing- the daughter of bonafide pioneers who settled in the Dakotas. Eisenhower treated her like a daughter and looked out for her and her brother. She married the man who picked her, and the other women she traveled with, up and drove them to their hotel. They had to disembark into the water and carry their suitcases to shore while holding them over their heads.

Eisenhower was always troubled by all the men who never returned from those beaches.
