“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
June 6th, 1944: the day over a million men stormed the beaches of Normandy and began the long, bloody, grinding campaign to finally destroy Nazi Germany once and for all. It was an age of heroes- men who sacrificed everything for a war that, while almost surely unnecessary, had to be won. Long may they be remembered for their valour.
(Also it’s an excuse to post one of my favourite ever IRON MAIDEN songs, of course.)
