As our country’s great wartime leader, Sir Winston Churchill has received too many tributes to count.

But he’s never been commemorated quite like this before.

The words in gothic script on her upper arms come from a speech Sir Winston made on the day he took office in 1940.

    I think Jolie is the SUPERWOMEN in world that ”US” females need to look up to,not her fame but her intelligence to the world and what happens around in it,she broadens her horizon and has a great care in this world for children.

    To me she is the President the one that takes on a challenge head on,and strives for the success in her life.

    You are a role model to females,you show how to be independent,how to be driven no matter what the outcome.

    Im rating her NO.1 women of the World.
