Why don't allied command give every US and Brit soldier a copy of the eisenhower letter - you know 'soldiers, sailors and airmen of the AEF, today is the day of days' - that was given to everyone the night before, the morning of the game. As a sort of memento? That's if you haven't thought of it already. I'm willing to help if I can, and if we can get a PDF of the real one or something. Excuse crap typing, I'm in subway on my blackberry.

A sweet idea matey, im broke for time now and will be on site from wed morning so no chance to sort it!

If you guys can put them together for the day they won't get wasted!
We did want to do ID cards and dogtags as a momento but an ever increasing spend has left the war coffers dry.

Nice touch!
