Seventy years on

Seventy years ago today over 5000 soldiers lost their lives to start a new front against the Germans and helped bring a faster end to the Second World War.

What can be said about the bravery of the men that stormed the Normandy beaches could do justice to their self-sacrifice. Nothing I could say could do it justice.

Just to say that we who have not had to fight appreciate living in the freedom that was bought by so many lives.
