REMEMBERING+THE+SACRIFICE

=IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE BRAVE = Looking across land so flat Broken only by white stones The grass is green, the flowers fresh

So quiet and peaceful Time seems to stop To allow us to remember

The 14000 that parachuted down on that fateful day And the 2048 that died

We Remember and acknowledge The great sacrifice  That was made that day

June 6...  Operation Overload was the first of many in a global strategic plan to defeat the Nazis. Over 130 000 men were involved, and of that 14 000 - 21 000 were Canadians. It was a terrifying and bloody day, thousands of Canadians were injured, and over 2050 killed. 2048 Canadians are buried in Normandy, France, and not all faces were found or accounted for. These brave soldiers left families and friends to fight for freedom and our country. Many paid a heavy price for joining the army. Thousands of families received dreadful news resulting from D-Day. It is only right that after the huge sacrifice the soldiers made for us we remember and respect them, not only on Remembrance Day, but every day.  THE PRICE
