Bruce Ash and Ed Wilkinson coming to you live from the Live The Dream Media studios in Morena, Arizona. In just a couple of minutes, we'll hear from our special guest and frequent contributor, Dr. Adrian Brettle from Sam Houston State University for another Westminster Hour on Insight Track. In the second half of the show today, Ted Maxwell from SALC wrote a very insightful opinion piece, which you may have seen. It was printed just a few days ago in The Star about governance in Tucson and here in Pima County. Eb?

He actually just did some termite work, or his crew did, at one of our condo buildings for us, and did a fabulous job.

**Eb Wilkinson** (4:23)
That's great. You're up.

Before we get to our special guest, Dr. Brettle, we're on the eve of the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landing. It's hard to imagine. I was there for the 75th anniversary in 2019
So this is when America warfighters, along with their Canadian and European allies, stormed the beaches of Normandy, which 12 months later concluded with the unconditional surrender of Germany after nearly six years of battle. Misery and tens of millions of deaths and destruction. Let's listen to Dwight Eisenhower's message to the allies, to our troops as the Great Crusade was about to launch.
