D Day

With all the brit bashing of late, thought today June 6th D Day was worth a mention.

A time in our history when many nations worked together to help those oppressed elsewhere.

Many payed the ultimate penalty, and today because of them we can enjoy our freedom.

Re: D Day

Good for you for posting this reminder Nom. A quiet moment to think and reflect of those that fell.

Re: D Day

Yes, thank you Nom. It's good to remember those young people that gave their lives. It seems not everyone appreciates it these days but I certainly do.

Thank you Nom, I was a war baby and have a distant memory of what it was like.

Re: D Day

My Uncle took part in D-Day. He was in the 6th Airborne and was with Major Howard taking the Pegasus bridge over the canal.
