I don't know if you got the same footage as we did over here, but the veterans marched smartly and stood in the heat for however many hour's the parade lasted.(I'm worried I won't be able to do that at 50-let alone 80).
It's sad really-these guy's did so much for us, but some people (much to my shock) don't know exactly what D-day was. I admit that I'm as bad as everybody else, but the veterans should be treated the same way they were today, all the time. I'd hate to think what I'd be doing if it wasn't for them. (I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to express opinion's as freely as I can on here.)
Sorry I'm babbling a bit, but I hope the sentiment comes through.
