D-Day
Much will be said today and around this period to commemorate the events of those manic days eighty years ago.
I have sat in my lounge this morning, drinking my cup of tea, looking at the walls of my home. If those who left our shores those eighty years ago did not go, would I be here to do what I want, when I choose............ Goodness knows even as to my existence..........I am grateful. |

I have respect for those who have served, and are serving.
My late father landed on the beaches eighty years ago, he was with the 11th Armoured Division, serving as the radio operator/driver. He came home without any serious physical injury but mentally he was injured. He never spoke of the horrors he had seen. I have only found out what he went through by doing the research. I still have his pay book, Bible, his medals and a few other bits to remind me of his, and others bravery, so that we could live in a free world.
