D-Day Order Speech by Dwight Eisenhower

D-Day Order speech by Dwight Eisenhower

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, well equipped, 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 defeat 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, devotion to duty, and skill in battle.

We will accept nothing less than full victory.

Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

Old River-Winfree Founders Day

I haven’t posted in a while, but I did win the election. I was disappointed at the low turnout. Even though Old River-Winfree is only 1364 citizens at last census, only 70 +/- people vote? Well, the only thing is, you can’t complain when things don’t go your way with the town.

I will continue to work hard to make Old River-Winfree a Prettier, Safer, and profitable place to live. I continue working on the River Project, which has been a dream of mine for the town.

Founders Day is picking up steam as we get closer to the date.

The Costume Ball is finalized on July 18. On Friday, July 24, we will have a HUGE water slide for the kids from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Go to the website at www.orwfoundersday.com for all the information. Vendors will be there, so mom and dad can shop while the kids are having fun!

July 25th is the big day of events! Something for everyone!

I’ll be posting more, so be sure and come back often!
