Talt thank you for reminding us all of this terrible time in WW11. So many young men were lost defending freedom. It was 80 yrs ago and there are still some of the brave men that stormed the beaches that day. In fact, just last night we watched four or five of them being interviewed, incredible people. One was 102 and the rest in their late 90s. What would our world have been like without their bravery, I shudder to think of it.
We grow the Fladers poppy and I was explaining to my grandchildren the symbolism of the red of the poppy and the blood shed on foreign soil.
