Can't even begin to imagine what these young men were thinking as they stormed the beaches of Normandy 75yrs ago. But I do know we all owe these courageous heroes a massive debt of gratitude. Thank you. #DDAY75
The 75th anniversary of D-Day reminds us that US, British, Canadian, Australian, Belgian, Czech, Dutch, French, Greek, New Zealand, Norwegian, Zimbabwean and Polish troops overcame one of the greatest evils the world has known; together. We thank them, always. #DDay75
75 years ago today, 14,000 Canadians stormed Juno Beach to defend freedom, human rights, & democracy. On #DDay75 , we remember those who fought and gave their lives during the Second World War. bit.ly/31fcIzS
Hoy, 6 de junio, se conmemora el 75 aniversario de uno de los momentos más importantes de la historia del s. XX: el desembarco de Normandía, en el que las tropas aliadas, generosamente nutridas de infantería norteamericana, procedieron a liberar Europa. #DiaDeLaLiberación#DDay75
'To the men who sit behind me, and to the boys who rest in the field before me: your example will never, ever grow old. Your legend will never tire. Your spirit—brave, unyielding, and true —will NEVER DIE.' #DDay75
As the sun rises today, as you make your breakfast, as the kids head to school, as you savour your freedom, please remember what 156,115 young men were doing exactly 75 years ago to protect that liberty. Their sacrifice, dedication & courage will never be forgotten. #DDay75
'They were young men with their entire lives before them. They were husbands who said goodbye to their young brides and took their duty as their fate. They were fathers who would never meet their infant sons and daughters—because they had a job to do.' #DDay75
The biggest insult to these heroes is left-wing outrage mobs pretending they are on the same level by “fighting Nazis” when they’re actually enforcing ideological conformism through intimidation and censorship - something that was foundational to the spread of Nazism.
'It is with humility and pleasure, on behalf of the entire country – indeed the whole free world – that I say to you all, thank you,' Her Majesty The Queen at the #DDay75 Commemorative event in Portsmouth today. 🎥 @BBCStudiosLive
In 2005 I went to D Day celebrations with a couple of mates. One was a neighbour to L/Cpl Tom Packwood 25 plt 2nd Batt Ox & Bucks Light Infantry. He was on glider 91 capturing Benouville Bridge. Tom holding wreath. We chatted with him and his pals about the operation. #DDay75
'These men ran through the fires of hell moved by a force no weapon could destroy—the fierce patriotism of a free, proud, and sovereign people.' #DDay75
'Seven decades ago, the warriors of D-Day fought a sinister enemy who spoke of a thousand-year empire. In defeating that evil, they left a legacy that will last not only for a thousand years, but for ALL TIME.' #DDay75
