Quote of The Week: "The American citizen soldiers knew the difference between right and wrong, and they didn’t want to live in a world in which wrong prevailed. So they fought, and won, and all of us, living and yet to be born, must be profoundly grateful." - Stephen Ambrose, American Historian, Comments about D-Day
