"To the Brave People of France"
(Inspired by Winston Churchill)

Delivered in spirit, in a time of great trial:

"To the noble sons and daughters of France, I speak to you now—not as strangers separated by borders, but as comrades united by courage.

The hour is dark. Your cities may tremble under the weight of tyranny, and your streets may echo with the boots of occupation. But the flame of France burns still. It burns in your hearts, in your homes, in every whisper of resistance and every act of defiance.

Let no man say France is defeated. No! France lives wherever a free Frenchman stands, wherever a voice dares to say 'Non!' to oppression.

This war will not be won in days, nor in comfort. It shall be won in hardship, in sacrifice, in blood and sweat and fierce determination. But win it, we shall.

We shall fight in the mountains, in the valleys, in the shadows of your ancient cathedrals. We shall fight with every tool, every thought, every ounce of strength. And when the dawn of liberty breaks once more over the hills of your beautiful land, the world will know—France stood tall. France never surrendered her soul.

So take heart, brave Frenchmen and women. The road ahead is hard, but you do not walk it alone. The free world marches with you. And together, we shall prevail."
