Today is when we remember June 6, 1944. That is when Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of France in WWII. To these people, we owe the freedom that we have today. Let us never forget their sacrifice.
Every year on this day I pay tribute to those that took part on the beaches of Normandy in the battle of the repatriation of Europe from the Nazis. Of the nearly 150,000 Allied troops who landed or parachuted onto the Normandy coast, 14,000 were Canadians.
