{{cquote|D-Day represents the greatest achievement of the [[america]]n people and system in the 20th century. It was the pivot point of the 20th century. It was the day on which the decision was made as to who was going to rule in this world in the second half of the 20th century. Is it going to be Nazism, is it going to be [[communism]], or are the [[democracy|democracies]] going to prevail?<ref></ref>}}
