Print of Eisenhower's famous statement to the Allied Expeditionary Force on June 6, 1944, one page, 6 x 9.25, removed from the limited edition book Crusade in Europe published in 1948 by Doubleday, signed at the bottom in fountain pen, "Dwight D. Eisenhower." The message reads, in part: "Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! 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 hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world…I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!" Matted with a photo and framed to an overall size of 20 x 13. In very fine condition. These signed versions of Eisenhower's D-Day message were issued in the special edition of Crusade in Europe, which was limited to 1426 copies.
