Ike's Order

"You remember it. Remember every bit of it, because we're on the eve of a day that people are going to talk about long after we are dead and gone."
--Destroyer Commander (The Longest Day)

The Supreme Commander of D-Day forces was General Dwight D. Eisenhower. His order to all members of the Allied Expeditionary Forces was read by troop commanders prior to the campaign.

Ike's order was also broadcast to the nation by US radio stations early on the morning of June 6th.
