Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower addressing paratroopers of the
101st Airborne Division before D-Day Normandy



Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

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)
