Thank you, MEG. It's such a peaceful and beautiful place now.

D Day:

The Normandy landings, codenamed Operation Neptune, were the landing operations on 6 June 1944 (termed D-Day) of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. The largest seaborne invasion in history, the operation began the invasion of German-occupied western Europe, led to the restoration of the French Republic, and contributed to an Allied victory in the war...In the military, D-Day is the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. The best known D-Day is June 6, 1944 — the day of the Normandy landings — initiating the Western Allied effort to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II.

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.

Rather we should thank God that such men lived."

Thanks for the picture this morning, MEG.
Both of my Grandads where there that day, though thankfully not on the beach.
One was a few miles out to sea Shelling the defences from HMS Warspite, the other was overhead dropping bombs on the positions further inland.
They both commented over the years that the troops first to land must have needed either B*lls of steel or gallons of alcohol (The RN carries Rum) to go through with it.
