Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I'm not religious in any way, but my thoughts today are with those who took part in the D-Day landings 65 years ago.
I visited the invasion beaches a couple of years ago and was overawed by what was achieved.

To those who never came back, we owe you as much as we owe the troops currently out on deployment.

Lest we forget

Bishops Finger:
So very true..let us not forget as well the civilians who died as well as the troops from the opposing forces...

crazymac:
This is why, for me, all the discussion about politicians with their noses in the trough, elections, cabinet members that are not voted in MP's etc are so important. These guys fought for freedom within society and speech, but what we have now I think would have them turning in their graves.

V8MoneyPit:
I doubt any of us here can imagine what it was like. Hell on earth is a phrase that is as close as we can get, I'd guess.

Hearing some of the veterans talking about it is inspiring. Their modesty should be a lesson to us all.
