About
“… Spared once by an act of Grace, we did not seek this further tribulation. We desired only peace to bind our wounds. We did not seek, nor did we invite, war … but the War has come anyway. Now every nation on this Earth is involved in a titanic struggle, the stakes of which comprise nothing less than the very survival of the species. Let the word go forth to friend and foe alike: This nation shall not shirk, shall not fail, shall not falter — this nation shall persevere not only until has every trace of the invade been erased from our soil but until he feels the weight of our might on his own…”
American President Hamilton Sloan Prescott
