Lest we forget sacrifice

On this the 59th anniversary of the unconditional surrender of the third reich let us not forget the brave men of the Allied Forces who brought about the final capitulation of the nazi regieme.

On this the 59th anniversary of the unconditional surrender of the third reich let us not forget the brave men of the Allied Forces who brought about the final capitulation of the nazi regieme. This as we all know was brought about mostly following the landings at Normandy, France on D-Day and the many battles which followed. These largely otherwise ordinary people willingly played their part in a manner which epitomises the ultimate self sacrifice of civic duty. Many died that others would be free. We have a free society today because of the Allied Forces. Remember them today!
