Today is Battle of Britain Day. Seventy years ago, courageous pilots, mostly British but also including Poles, Czechs, Frenchmen and Commonwealth fliers, were locked in a fierce aerial battle over England in a desperate effort to thwart the imperial ambitions of Hitler and the Nazis. Numbering only 2,332 men, they won the battle against long odds and helped save the world from Nazi despotism. As Churchill said, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
Global Citizens must never forget The Few.
One of the most amazing victories in the history of warfaare. 10 Americans flew with the British during the battle and qualified for the attle of Britain clasp to the 1939-45 British campaign star.
