| 0:27.0 | And now Katie's final word. |
| 0:32.0 | 75 years ago this week, on June 6, 1944, soldiers, sailors and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force undertook the largest amphibious invasion in military history. |
| 0:44.0 | More than 150,000 U.S., British and Canadian troops landed on the heavily fortified beaches of Normandy to liberate France and the continent from four years of brutal Nazi arms. |
| 0:57.0 | As the operation began, armed forces radio broadcast a message to the troops from the Supreme Allied Commander and future President General Dwight D Eisenhower. |
| 1:08.0 | General Eisenhower knew that many under his command would not survive the landing, and more than 4,000 people were lost that day. |
| 1:16.0 | But as he sent his troops into battle, General Eisenhower expressed confidence in their courage and told them that the righteousness of their great and noble cause would eventually lead to victory over the forces of fascism, tyranny and oppression. |

| 2:22.0 | But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. |
| 2:30.0 | The United Nations have inflicted upon the German's great defeat in open battle, man-to-man. |
| 2:38.0 | Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. |
| 2:45.0 | Our homefront have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. |
| 2:56.0 | The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory. |
| 3:03.0 | I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory. |
| 3:10.0 | Good luck, and let us all be seats the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking. |
