June 6, 1944. Juno Beach about 4 pm. Canadian troops disembarking before pushing inland.
I’m proud to be Canadian. I’m proud of our contribution to defeating Nazism. I’m proud of my father-in-law, now 101, who answered the call as did my grandfather and great uncles on both sides. I’m proud to have known veterans, now passed, who fought across Normandy and Holland.
That was courage.
