From the immortal Bill Pullman and the historically and scientifically accurate
Independence Day...
"Good morning. In less than one hour planes from here and all around the world will launch the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind...
Mankind. The word has new meaning for all of us now. We are reminded not of our petty differences but of our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today, July the Fourth, we will once again fight for our freedom. Not from tyranny, persecution or oppression. But from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. From this day on, the fourth day of July will no longer be remembered as an American holiday but as the day that all of mankind declared we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to survive...Today is our Independence Day! "
