“these men came here – British and our Allies, and Americans – to storm these
beaches for one purpose only, not to gain anything for ourselves, not to fulfill any
ambitions that America had for conquest, but just to preserve freedom. . . Many
thousands of men have died for such ideals as these… but these young boys. .
were cut off in their prime. I devoutly hope that we will never again have to see
such scenes as these. I think and hope, and pray, that humanity will have learned..
we must find some way. to gain an eternal peace for this world.” – via Carlo
