Question Tuesday, 6 June 1944 and 25,000 Canadians

It is now approx. 12:21 PM here in London. I've had the radio on since early this morning (zero-dark-thirty) and all I've heard about is the court house in Brampton and this 'Terrorist Cell' and bail hearings.......

If memory serves me correctly, it was 62 years ago this AM that approx. 25,000 Canadians were involved in the largest seaborne assault of a fortified coast in history which eventually lead to the liberation of Europe from under the control of Nazi Germany and that by the end of this day 62 years ago many a young Canadian had lost their lives with many more to fellow before war's end.

But so far today, all I've heard about is these 'yahoos' in a Brampton court house ........

Whatever happened to 'Lest We Forget' .........

Has the son of one of those who stormed ashore this day 62 years ago and as a retired serviceman myself, I like my Father remember..........

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

...... piss poor when the Canadian media over looks this and turns all their attention to a court house in Brampton..........
