Bear with me, Kids...June 6th, I share with my Dad to remember - to reflect and honour the remaining few of WWII Veterans that landed on Normandy beach this day. Norm did, along with thousands of others - some who made it home - many, too many who didn't. 18 year old kids and younger. I honour this day for my Dad and all his fellow servicemen who served through the horrors on Normandy Beach,
June 6th, 1944.
