Sadly most of those Heroes are gone now. And sadder yet is how few of their descendants are even aware of their contributions and sacrifices for this world.

What courage it took when you pretty much knew what was going on with those murderous MG-42's sling lead at an insane rate not to mention all the other fodder that was flying around!
God bless them all may they find peace in knowing there are some still here who will keep the flame alight for what they did for us here today.

Yes, sadly M1C FAN I see that a lot. It is prevalant after the Afghanistan campaign as it is after the Vietnam War.
People who sit in armchairs, who have NEVER seen an angry man wouldn't know the half of it.
Sorry to sit on my high horse over this, but I have seen it this week, where "some" young people complain about bagpipes, bugles and the sounds, honouring the dead. A sound that has been in battles for hundreds of years!!!
It does leave you wondering how good have these dead soldiers from every nation made it for them, so they can sit an moan about something so innocuous!!

We had a quiet 6th of June this year.
But both wife and I competed in a Service Rifle Competition at the weekend. Where I was using my ex Resistance No4Mk1; and sparing a thought for all the brave souls from all who stepped up to the challenge on that day in 1944.

Monday June 6, 2022, Normandy (France
) celebrated the 78th anniversary of D-Day. The day was marked in particular by the international ceremony, hosted this year by Bernières-sur-Mer (Calvados). Everywhere in the Manche and Calvados, the emotion was great at the time of the reunion with the last survivors of June 6, 1944...the french will never forget
