I won't add to or subtract from your statement.

This anniversary, one of the most significant in European and American history, sadly becomes less significant every year for political reasons that I am not allowed to discuss here.

But real historians will never forget the battles that were fought on that and subsequent days in June of 1944.

On the way back from Biggin Hill, we visited a couple of places in France. We went to the BlockHaus at Eperlecques and then to La Coupole Both constructions being 5 meter thick concrete. Tall boys and Grandslam bounced off them. Well worth a visit if you happen to be close by (only 15 miles from Calais)
On the way back we went via Flanders Fields and a few of the war cemeteries............Makes you think.

as a historian and as a human i shall never forget them!

you just don't get the same 'gut dropping' feeling from the pics as you do when you actualy visit one of these cemetaries... i went to one in belgium a few years ago and i was speechless

may we never forget you
