"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 hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you." These sacred words were given by Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme commander of Allied Expeditionary Forces in World War II, to the brave men and women about to risk everything they had and would ever have on what we now know as D-Day.
