Finding it incredibly moving watching images of all the D-day veterans in Normandy. All well over 90 now. Many now in Wheelchairs but all so incredibly brave. All of them saying they were just doing their job. Many still tormented by what they saw happen there. No snowflakes amongst them. Am eternally grateful to them |

Compulsory yes but virtually all did it willingly with many lying about their age

while i respect their contribution.. it isn't exactly heroism when it was forced on them. like the white young men in South Africa during the apartheid years.

Just watching it now, the RBL have taken over a cruise ship to take veterans over to France, hope they all have a good trip and hope someone has put some money behind the bar for them.
