All across the UK people are commemorating the 70th anniversary of The Battle of Britain. But for the courage and fortitude of the men and women of the RAF, indeed of the entire British nation, the scourge of facism would have persisted and inflicted far more agregious damage upon or world than can be imagined. Now, more than ever, it is vital that people all across the world remember the ones whose bravery and dedication enabled us to have the liberties and comforts we now enjoy.

In my eyes The Battle of Britain is as significant to the UK as Independence Day is to us in the United States. To the British nation it is with great respect that I thank you for your sacrifices in that epic struggle. My clumsy words cannot express what it is you did for all of us, so I leave it to one of your greatest orators.
