Freedom Is A Fragile Thing And Is Never More Than One Generation Away From Extinction. It Is Not Ours By Inheritance; It Must Be Fought For And Defended Constantly By Each Generation, For It Comes Only Once To A People. Those Who Have Known Freedom, And Then Lost It, Have Never Known It Again.

We're Here To Mark That Day In History When The Allied Peoples Joined In Battle To Reclaim This Continent To Liberty. For Four Long Years, Much Of Europe Had Been Under A Terrible Shadow.

Here The Allies Stood And Fought Against Tyranny In A Giant Undertaking Unparalleled In Human History.

You Will Be Competing Against Athletes From Many Nations. But, Most Important, You Are Competing Against Yourself. All We Expect Is For You To Do Your Very Best, To Push Yourself Just One Second Faster, One Notch Higher, One Inch Further.
