Default Re: Normandy 70 Years Later..


Just had a fella in my office who's father was part of the D-Day landing 70 years ago today.
His dad's still with us @ 90 and although foggy w/ many things is still clear about his days in the war also was telling him this morning about his D-Day landing...he and his group of Canadians were launched into the water @ the beaches riding motorcycles coated in grease also intake snorkel tubes that went up over their shoulders!
He also mentioned his father's shared much of his war experiences over the years but doesn't like to talk about liberating one of the Jewish death camps also has had bad dreams about it his whole life.
I passed a heartfelt handshake and a sincere thank you on to him!
Where's that Canadian flag?
