“… 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 D’Este's superbly crafted biography of Ike: 'Eisenhower: A Soldier’s Life', Author: Carlo D’Este, ISBN: 0805056874, Publisher: Holt Paperbacks; 1st Edition
