“Every time I come back to these beaches… I say, once more, we must find some way to work to peace and really to gain an eternal peace for this world.”
– Dwight D. Eisenhower at Normandy Beach

Both men, each in their own way, fought for freedom, independence, and the civil rights of their countries and the world.
Both men played significant roles in achieving their goal…Peace.
Today, the world is facing the same conflicts, the same battles, the same wars.
Too many of the leaders of too many nations-too many of the Captains and Kings ( the title of a book by Taylor Caldwell… worthy of a read) – fallaciously claim that their sole intention is peace.
Their true goals, however, are political, financial, and dictatorial control.
The Captains and the Kings have been with us since the beginning of civilization.
They are formidable, almost insurmountable opponents.
But they have not always won.
If they are to be defeated today, it will take a collaboration of nations.
In America, it must include a united Congress, Supreme Court, Media, and We the People.
Without this coalition, the Captains and Kings will once again be victorious.
We all must engage in this struggle, this battle, this war.
Do Not Be Afraid.
