Juno+Beach

=D-Day July 6, 1994 The Day Of The Attack = Over a million men joined the Canadian Armed Forces during World War II to fight for their country. The soldiers had to fight hard with success to ever get back home. Canadian troops relied on many services that provided food, shelter, medical care, intelligence, communications and more for them. They also relied on ships, aircraft, tanks and weapons needed to take on the enemy.

> Juno beach was the code name for one of the five allied landing sites during the invasion of normandy. It was also known as the Canadian beach because it was assigned to the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. Despite being assigned to the Canadians, significant British forces were present as well.
