D-Day

[Antonius Lucretius]

Sixty one years ago a great army came from across the sea to set my country, and several others, free.
Some of us have not forgotten that on that day, young men died on unknown --to them-- beaches and fields, in a strange land, thousand of miles away from their homes.

Hello all

I do find it a shame to myself that I so easily forget that many the old men of today where once younger than me now, and went through so much as they where swept into the maelstrom of those events.

I watched a documentary just the other night and saw how the Tirpitz (sp?) was attacked by men as young as 19, in a world where we here only of the trouble teenagers can cause it was amazing to see so much responsibility resting on such young shoulders.

All the best
