Thanks for the link, Blade.

The only D-Day beach-landing participant I ever knew personally died some time ago. He never brought the subject up...only later incidents on the way to Germany.

Let's also remember the contribution (in blood) made by our neighbors to the North.

The documentary does not ignore the Canadians.

Remember D-Day

I actually do remember it. Typical day on the farm. Had gone to the barn to feed the critters and get the milking done. Heard a yell from the house. It was my aunt (with whom I lived) yelling for me to come back to the house. Went in and the radio was carrying a broadcast from Normandy. The invasion was ongoing. My aunt told me to listen, as I would remember it always. She was more right than she even realized. After 75 years, I do remember and I thank her for her foresight.
And blessings and thanks for those souls who didn't make it home.
