Take A Moment To Remember...

            This windswept stretch of beach was very peaceful when I visited a number of years ago. But on June 6, 1944 this stretch of Normandy beach by the town of Courseulles-sur-Mer, and given the codename Juno Beach by the allied command,  was a living hell to those brave young Canadian men who landed there as part of the D-Day invasion. 359 young Canadians were killed and another 715 were wounded that fateful day, but the mission was successful and just over 11 months later, Germany surrendered ending WWII in Europe. Take a moment today to remember the sacrifice these brave young men and all the other allied troops made that day on the Normandy beaches.
