Yeahhhh Ford! Great gesture and show of support for yesterday's heroes!
Just visited Bedford Va a few weeks back which has a D-Day memorial:

How anyone survived that massacre is beyond me.

On June 6, 1944, General Einsenhower sent a message to the troops just before they stormed the beaches of Normandy. General Eisenhower said:
"Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon a great crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers in arms on other fronts, 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...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.”

Amen. I hesitate to think what the world would be like now had they not been successful. Things didn't get much easier either. That winter was brutal.
