Very moving and dignified ceremonies and stories:

I think it is important to commemorate that on this forum as well. All these young lives taken (on both sides)...

Sadly the Normandy veterans association has disbanded this year as so few veterans are alive. As posted by Ericidle, a few made sure it the last trip of the association was a good one.

I loved the story of the vet who escaped the nursing home, made me chukle.
