I am so glad to see things like this to day i think it is deteriorating in the modern world but i have respect for all the people who give their respect to fallen heros of the war let them live on in our memories.
RIP heros
my girlfriend's Granddad was there, he was a tank driver but can't remember who with at the minute - he's a real character and I'm always slightly in awe of him when we visit.
He's 91 and just been done for speeding! (downhill, clocked doing 37 in a 30 - not that I'm condoning it) what a bloke!
Not just D'day but all of them.as all part of the effort.funny thing i was on LBC radio other week and they was asking who we should remember as great british person/s.i said all those in bomber command as all volunteers none conscripted. went where ever they where sent.most never coming back lots on first mission. But all passed over for any medals or recognition after the war.bloody disgrace.
Read the book the bomber boys.

I had the privilege of knowing two D-Day vets: both great guys! One was a lodge brother (Army), the other was my uncle (Navy), who operated a Higgins boat (every one of them made here in New Orleans) landing craft.
