TTN,

I fully concur with your last sentence. Last year we took our two boys to the Normandy beaches, Cafe Gondree at Pegasus Bridge and the British and Commonwealth War Cemeteries at Ranville and Bayeux.

For two typical teenagers (Kevins!) they were visibly moved and very interested in learning about that period of history. If we don't continue to pass this on to our youngsters then there is danger that in the future the acts of remembrance will fade away.
