June 5, 1944 —
“Tonight is the night of nights.
Tomorrow throughout the whole of our homeland and the Allied world the bells will ring out the tidings that you have arrived, and the invasion for liberation has begun.”
Today is Memorial Day in America – a day of national respect for each and every person who defended America and freedom in uniform.
Without the United States, there simply would have been no European freedom – and the 20th century proved this absolutely clearly. Now Russia’s full-scale war is not only against Ukraine, but also against the very format of such a Europe – a free, democratic, united Europe. It is Euro-Atlantic unity that has been, and remains, the foundation of the world’s economic and, in many respects, social development after World War II.
Ukraine is grateful to the United States for supporting our defense and to all compassionate American hearts that continue to support Ukraine.
This war must be ended – and ended in a dignified way. And America’s role in this – America, which Russia fears – truly can be one of leadership: in supporting our defense of life here and our ability, later on, to help defend life for other nations, those who truly need it.
Thank you, America!
Super Troopers didn’t just make cops funny, it made us root for the most unhinged ones.
23 years later and we’re still saying 'Literally' unironically. A true cult classic 🍺

@MericaCulture@EchoesofWarYT Grant started the overland campaign with around 115,000. After the gruesome casualties from the wilderness to the Cold Harbor he crossed the James to Petersburg with around the same number. No regardless of Gettysburg I doubt the South could have won. Brave as they were.
