Dday, the 69th anniversary

So here we are at the 69th anniversary of Dday, the largest most complex invasion in history to liberate Europe from the tyranny of Nazi rule.  I have visited the beaches a few times and thought that today would be the day to put up a few of my pics in testament to the brave men who fought for us..

This last pic is of the grave of lieutenant H. D. Brotheridge, the first allied soldier to die on Dday, during the liberation of Pegasus Bridge.  The inscription reads 'out of the bitterness of war, he found the perfect peace'

We will remember their sacrifice.

They gave their today for our tomorrow
