Every year on this day I pay tribute to those that took part on the beaches of Normandy
in the bloody battle of the repatriation of Europe from the Nazis.

ReplyDeleteYour tribute is appreciated. The landings on the Normandy beaches were the tide turners in that horrible war.
ReplyDeleteGreat aircraft! I attended a Honor Flight ceremony today for WW II vets.
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was young he had a documentary called "Night Bombers" all about the Lancaster Bomber's role in WW II. He must have watched it 1000 times, and knew every line by heart. Thank you for posting your photo of this historic aircraft. My Dad landed at Normandy after the beach was taken and then fought all across France and Germany.
ReplyDeleteGlad I stopped by from Betsy's to say hello - I saw this beautiful Lancaster Bomber which did so much for the war effort.

My dad was in World war 2. Your tribute is appreciated. My one brother had a grenade hit his leg and took side of his flesh . My other brother had a bomb shell-hit his ear drums and deafen him permanently.
