Didn't get your drift, glad rag, until I spotted your link was to the history & nostalgia forum. From that I deduce that it was sent from here to there by the mods. If that is so then I share your sentiments. If there is one forum aware that:
Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.
then it is surely this one. The 6 June 1944 isn't just history, let alone nostalgia, but a message to us all that we should, each and everyone of us, live our lives to ensure that such prodigious sacrifice is not required of future generations. At the moment Europe is teetering on going down that old familiar nationalistic dark alley yet again. Time for some serious reflection and for not sweeping such reminders out of the way.
Thank you for the OP SASless, and for not being tidied away!
