“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

The victorious dead

Seventy years ago today, over a million men stormed the shores of the French coast at Normandy, on a day that has since gone down in history as the most important offensive action of World War II. The Nazis knew what was coming and so had left quite a few nasty...
