The 6th of june 1944, operation overlord and the allied invasion of Normandy. My greatest respect and admiration for the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches in the face of heavy gunfire and losses. Almost 4,500 were killed during the invasion that day in the fight for the freedom we take for granted today. A time when men were men and Britain had a spine. The state of this countries "leadership" in recent years is an insult to their sacrifice. My grandad was on Omaha beach, he passed in 2000 and i'm very proud of him and our veterans past and present.
