There's a few more that are moving, but I didn't want to overdo it. There's one more that deserves special mention though, about the few fighter pilots that managed, unbelievably, to hold off the Luftwaffe and cripple the invasion plans. Here's an excert:

The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the fighter pilots, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day…


Boy, we were lucky buggers to have Churchill on point.
