Winston Churchill's speech "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" reiterates the perseverance of the British people in fighting their enemies. He gave this speech in the House of Commons where he encourages the people to keep fighting. He emphasizes the importance of the nation to "never surrender", fighting passionately wherever- in land, seas, beaches, streets, anywhere.
