Many many thanks for your unprecedented commitment 70 years ago.
Roger
Quite right, Roger, well said.
I'd add a thanks for the endeavours and sacrifices of the many, 100 years ago too.
Not forgotten.
Agreed we can never thank them enough
Agreed - never forget those who gave their lives for our freedom - but also never forget those who fought or worked for the final victory, no matter where they served. My father died last year, and it was only a few months before he died when he finally spoke to me about his service in the Royal Navy. He was an engineer serving on a British escort carrier in the Pacific. What little he told me it sounded quite hairy at times. But he still lived well into his 80's.
We must never forget, what they did for us on that day?
My dad was on landing craft on gold beach? He could never
Talk about it .That was the only thing he would tell me were he was
And what he did? Ended his days in navy on armed trawlers
I salute them and will always remember them and be grateful for our freedom that they fought so hard for..
every single one of them a hero.

Well said !
I agree. My Dad was in the FAA but not until after D-Day..
As I once heard a veteran say -
"I am not a hero...
...but I served alongside lots of them."
God bless them all, we owe them so much.
