I had never really understood what the soldiers on D-Day went through until recently - my grandpa who died several years ago wrote a diary about his experiences, from surviving Dunkirk to going back to Europe via D-Day, and eventually going right through to Bremen It took me nearly 10 years to have the courage to read this memoir right through, as some of the writings are incredibly moving. I can only be in awe of what all the D-Day veterans went through. Today my thoughts will be to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the struggle for a better world - RIP |
