IN MEMORY AND SALUTE TO OUR BRAVE GENERATION
About 12 hours ago European time, 68 years ago as the invasion fleet was en route, this was broadcast:
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, 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, wellequipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
SIGNED: Dwight D. Eisenhower
That is sad.
Who cares? Google is irrelevant.
There are alternatives to Google.
Use them.
I do.
Google will go the way of Facebook.
Count on it.
You would think even lefties would commemorate D-Day, to them it was “The Good War”, with FDR in charge, and helping out their Soviet brothers, and all that, against the Fascists.
Today, if a general used the word “crusade” , he’d face a court martial for being insensitive to Muslims’ feelings.
Understood well, but Google is financing the enemies of our Republic and enabling the police state. Important to know one’s enemies, and call them out- inform and thereby point outto the great fat ass electorate to get off their butts, put down the bong and maybe wake up.
That is to say, devalue and de-fund Google. Currently 580.40/share.
Deo Vindice.
Google can go google itself.
Google can go google itself.
To hell with Google...We honor our vets here!
it’s on purpose to find the most trivial thing possible and celebrate it instead of D Day. They know it’d be more respectful to just commemorate nothing.
