Let us remember. Let us celebrate. Let us just spend a moment in gratitude for the brave men who fought so desperately for our liberty. Lest we forget.
Some of those men who landed on those beaches, Omaha, Sword, Utah, Gold and Juno, are still alive - well into their 90's now, but if you see them wearing their medals, nod your head in a silent salute of respect.
They truly have earnt it. They truly deserve it.
Lest we forget.
