A Prayer on D-Day
June 6th, 1944
My fellow Americans:
Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation.

My God, man. What, exactly, was the pathway to victory for Britain in January 1942? For France?
You fight for freedoms… everywhere you can. This man’s cowardice and moral deficiency should disqualify him from public office. 🍸

82 years ago Casablanca opened in NY only days after US armed forces landed at Casablanca in French Morocco, and just 8 weeks before I met Winston for the first of our war conferences in, that’s right, Casablanca.
I extend my thanks to our valiant troops and to all who fight against the fascists 🫡🍸
