June 6, 20188 yr That's right folks! 74th anniversary of D-Day today, June 6, 2018. Allied forces assault on Nazi Germany that helped turned the tide of WWII but at a horrendous cost in human lives. Proud to be Canadian today as we gave 5,000 lives that day and another 14,000 casualties in the pursuit of the freedoms we all enjoy today! Well done lads! May you rest in peace now and forever and, thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. Edited June 6, 20188 yr by reciprocity
June 6, 20188 yr Most of the Aussie force was occupied in the Pacific with the Japanese, we only had about 5000 (mainly navy and airforce) participate in D-Day with the loss of only 14 lives (2 RAN, 12 RAAF) .... we still commemorate the sacrifices of our allies... so to the Brits at Gold & Sword, the Canadians at Juno and the Yanks at Omaha and Utah .... we will not forget.
