"The Eyes of the World Are Upon You" (Archival Print)

Produced in partnership with our friends at G.I. Prints, this archival historical photograph is printed to art gallery-grade specifications and is suitable for framing.

This famous photograph captures General Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), speaking to members of the Army's 101st Airborne Division on June 5, 1944, just prior to the D-Day Invasion (codenamed "Operation Overlord").

General Eisenhower's words speak for themselves, and ring eternally powerful in the minds of all those who read them:

"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you...Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely... [but] I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."
