LEST WE FORGET!
Today is is the 66th Anniversary of D-Day the biggest maritime invasion in History!
This was done to give us the peace we have, to replace the tyranny of the Nazis, a freedom for the world.
From the U.S.A. Rangers Heroic battle on Omaha beach; to the British Soldiers, Red Devils (2 Para.), American 1st Airborne and British Commandos giving revenge to one nation that wished to destroy the world!
To the Gurkha's unrelenting fighting prowess, the British knocking the Japanese out of Burma alongside the Americans.
There are many named Heroes; but surely each one was a hero, whether they were from sea, land or air, or whatever country in the world they came from, they fought for and died for freedom.
The real Heroes are the ones who did not come back, and now lay in un marked graves. They are the Heroes, for they gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country!
So we could live in peace.
May they Rest in Peace.
Let us hope we do not have to see this again, and this is the known ones!
WHEN YOU GO HOME TODAY, TELL THEM OF US AND SAY,
FOR YOUR TOMORROWS, WE GAVE OUR TODAY!
Kohima Epitaph.
It is about time the youngsters realised it as well!

THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD, AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD,
AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN.
AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN,
AND IN THE MORNING.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
