6-Jun-44

Salute to all American, British, Canadian and French Heroes who saved Europe from German, Italian and other tyrannical forms of domination.

THEY WERE A BREAD OF MEN WHO DID WHAT HAD TO BE DONE

THE MAN MY MOTHER WAS MARRIED TO AND MY FATHER WERE BOTH IN THAT WAR.
MY FATHER WAS A GUNNER IN THE B 17 MY MOTHERS HUSBAND WAS A GROUND SUPPORT MAN.

I visited the Normandy beaches a couple of years ago now

only spent a day there,which is nowhere near enough time

the museum in Caen is a day in itself

you can't help but be speechless when visiting the military cementries

Dieppe also has a feel about it

I'm originally from Newhaven,Sussex,so I visited the town often

my Grandfather was a Canadian soldier,he didn't take part in the raid on 19th August 1942

the Canadian cementry in Dieppe is alot smaller by comparison,but no less poignant

The real tyrant was STALIN.
