One always proclaims his inability to solve problems, yet heroically manages to succeed anyway, the other says he is the best at everything, yet always fails.
Statement by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the 10th Anniversary of the Landing in Normandy. June 6, 1954
THIS DAY is the tenth anniversary of the landing of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Normandy. That combined land-sea-air operation was made possible by the joint labors of cooperating nations. It depended for its success upon the skill, determination and self-sacrifice of men from several lands. It set in motion a chain of events which affected the history of the entire world.
Despite the losses and suffering involved in that human effort, and in the epic conflict of which it was a part, we today find in those experiences reasons for hope and inspiration. They remind us particularly of the accomplishments attainable through close cooperation and friendship among free peoples striving toward a common goal.
Some of my most cherished memories of that campaign are those of friendly cooperation with such distinguished military leaders of foreign nations as Field Marshal Montgomery, Admiral Ramsay, Marshal of the Royal Air Force Tedder, Marshal de Lattre de Tassigny, Marshal Juin and Marshal Leclerc. I recall my pleasant association with the outstanding Soviet soldier, Marshal Zhukov, and the victorious meeting at the Elbe of the Armies of the West and of the East.
These lessons of unity and cooperation have by no means been lost in the trying period of reconstruction since the fighting stopped. Rather, we see peoples, once bitter enemies, burying their antagonisms and joining together to meet the problems of the postwar world. If all those nations which were members of the Grand Alliance have not maintained in time of peace the spirit of that wartime union, if some of the peoples who were our comrades-in-arms have been kept apart from us, that is cause for profound regret, but not for despair. The courage, devotion and faith which brought us through the perils of war will inevitably bring us success in our unremitting search for peace, security and freedom.
I hate living in a world where this will do exactly as she wants: distract Trump's base from her complete lack of an actual argument or facts. Because Clinton sends them into the same kind of frenzy my dog experiences when the trash truck comes by, or she sees a squirrel on the back fence. Words have no meaning for her in that state, she's just a 20-lb rage machine.
Seaman 2nd Class, Lawrence Peter Berra served as a gunner's mate on a landing craft support boat during the landings. Berra earned a Purple Heart, a Distinguished Unit Citation, and two battle stars during the war.
Many black people were convinced not to vote, Smellyanne. Of course that's not going to show up as hacked votes, but it makes a HUGE difference to the vote tallies.
Also, were you not just saying a few days ago that Hillary Clinton talks too much and you wish she'd just go away and shut up? Now you're asking what she's done to help American? Yeah, THAT'S not moving the goalposts or anything.
No one should put her in front of a microphone.

Yep!
Wow. Three weeks and two days before I was born.
I miss Keith. I hear he's coming back to TV as a sports commentator.
"What are the Clintons doing to help America?"

Speaking of D-Day vets.

Hey! That’s my job(boxes of food and such) and my hobby! Take it easy there.
Votes may have changed. As importantly, if voter roles were fooled with, showing up and NOT being able to vote is the SAME thing.
He was great on SportsCenter back in the day...
