JUNE 6 -REMEMBERING D-DAY

 June 6 1944 Canadians stormed Juno Beach.

Other Allied forces stormed beaches at Normandy.

It is quiet there today.

It reminds us that sacrifices made in history benefit us today.

Our democracy survived. So let's be good citizens in their honour.

Thanks to all that served. We will not forget you.

REMEMBER D-DAY AND THE SACRIFICES FOR OUR FREEDOM

D-Day will stand out as a significant day in history. As with other famous battles, it was the beginning of the invasion of Europe to restore the freedoms to the countries there from the Nazi rule. An international effort that included many Canadians. Juno Beach was our beach. In World War Two, Canada played a major role. In time , we helped to liberate the Netherlands. Although we have Remembrance Day in November, today is another time to reflect on this very important day. By remembering, it helps us to fight even harder for peace in this world! Do you have someone from your family that was there? What is the story? Write it down! If the person is still alive, say thank you! If you encounter someone from the Armed Forces, say thank you! In order to have our freedoms we have today, others made sacrifices for us!
