Juno monument
Garry we have stood in front of to many cenotaphs and statuary dedicated to the fallen of WW1 to appreciate the symbolism of the artists interpretation of the Juno Statue.The statue is no more inspiring in real life than on TV, we will just have to let the statue be a statement for its time.
What we should do is be in awe of Lt. Webb and his directors and executive,they have done the impossible.Today an interprative centre stands on one of the Canadian landing zones of Juno Beach
The polititians may have all flown in by helicopter, load after load, for their time at the microphone and be seen.You know how parades are, hurry up and wait for" the high priced help".They came for the speeches,but it was a day for Lt. Webb and his committee to see their hard work fulfilled.To them our thanks and respest.
