I don’t think I saw one D-Day Anniversary tweet. So please share.

French caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach and scrub them into the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring.

They also gave us this land as American soil.

76 years ago, Canadian soldiers took Juno Beach in one of the most successful Allied operations of the Second World War. D-Day was a victory, but we must never forget the ones we lost. Today, we honour those soldiers for their bravery, and thank them.

Off to Normandy on 10 June 1944, four days after D-Day. An American tank is loaded at Town Quay, Southampton. The Royal Pier is in the background.

Over two million Americans would pass through Southampton between D-Day and the end of the war.

I am profoundly saddened to see this image of the statue of Winston in London. Europe owes a great debt of gratitude to Churchill for his fight against tyranny in the second World War. We will never forget that.
