Jack Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 D-Day 62 years ago. What can one say about that, it is very difficult to put that into words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FV601 (R.I.P.) Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 May the sacrifice made by those whom never returned be remembered by those who enjoy the freedom their lives bought for us. In War there are no winners or losers, only casualties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripp Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 And what a disgrace that there's been barely a mention of it in the press or TV news. http://rememberthisday.ytmnd.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Well I read a newspaper, heard many news items on many different stations and found no references to D-Day at all. All we seem to hear about is this confounded football match The human sacrifice was enormous & so was the planning & the logistics. It all happened with tremendous back up by the workforce of this country who made & cartoned up 375 million articles for use in Normandy & by the end of 1944 had provided a further 100 million articles.

stanpart57 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 BBC news website had a section on D-day in the morning but there was no sign of it after lunch! Out here in Germany they don't seem to be making much note of it either :wink: Wish I could be driving my Jeep! You are right though that 'thankyou' does not seem to be even half sufficient for the sacrifices made. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Nothing on Dutch television that I saw either. Still lots of people who remember outside the limelights of TV and such. D-Day meant that German's defeate was all but ensured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Bombini Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Nothing about it here either. There were a few shows about D-Day on the history channel during the day but come night time, it was back to their regular shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Mebbe the likes of us who keep the old vehicles on the road is the best thank-you anyone could give these guys, some of whom gave their tomorrows and some came home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
