I remember the day well - I was only seven years old and lived on the
South coast on the English Channel. There was a regiment of Canadians
bivuoaced in the fields around us. That night the engines revved and
in the morning they had gone.....

During the day the sky was black with thousands and thousands of
aircraft - C47's towing gliders, bombers and fighters.

A day to remember

Thanks so very, very much John for that memory.

We owe them our deepest respect for what they did on what was perhaps the
most
momentous day of the 20th century.

Hello, I was away this weekend and just got back to reading the posts.
Totally agree, We owe them so much thanks for what they did, my uncle
served in the Canadian Army during the war. I am 47 yrs.old and he died
in 1971 when I was 10 so I didn't know him very well. I wish he was still
alive to thank him in person.I remember my mom telling me stories about
him and how he came back from the war a different person and turned to
alcohol to forget.He came back but was still a casualty.We should never
forget..................Thank You Ace for the reminder, Frank

Thanks, Frank.
