Today in Comics History, June 6, 1944: A cartoon beagle honors the veterans of WWII more sincerely than the current President of the United States

'Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!' -- General Dwight D. Eisenhower's address to the troops on D-Day

Peanuts (June 6, 1993; United Feature Syndicate), by Charles Schulz

Sigh.
(BTW: Check Eisenhower’s first name in your hover-text.)
