67th Anniversary of D-Day
Today is the 67th anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, the start of Operation Overlord, Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy in an all out effort take back Europe from the Nazis. The generation that fought in this battle and the rest of WW II is disappearing as time marches on. I think we should take a minute out of our day to give thanks to the brave men and women who sacrificed so much in the name of Freedom.

Thanks for the reminder Shadow. My stepfather, Mr. Espinoza fought in that war. He is no longer here with us. He was a good and decent man.

Never forget.
Ever. A synopsis of Canada's involvement (as a young nation -- pop of 11,000,000 around 1942 -- since we were formed in 1867) in D-Day activities from CTV.ca Quote:

Laerkin and I visited the beaches of Normandy when we were in France in 2009 vacationing. It was pretty moving being there looking off into the distance thinking to what it must've been like during that time. Kind of eerie when the wind would blow and imagining all the bloodshed that occurred in that sand. There is also an American gravesite and memorial close by and of course a visitor center as well. I won't ever forget.
