D-Day
This weekend we'll be remembering those who fell sixty years ago, so that Europe might be free. Every time I fly back to the UK from the south, I look down on those beaches with silent thanks.
When BARLU went some time ago, to be replaced with the anonymous AKIKI, many Ppruners complained. How about an effort to change it again. To another five letter word which would be a memorial to the bloodiest of those strands - OMAHA |
No chance.....
Sadly there is no way the PC brigade would ever allow
that. At the main ceremony there is only space for 200 veterans, but plenty of room for important VIP's such as HERR Schroeder (!) and that well know war hero, err sorry monger Bush Junior. :yuk: |
Give Peace A Chance
The Longest Day
We all owe a debt of gratitude to those brave men and boys who fought and died/survived for a freedom that we take for granted nowadays. It would seem that some if not all of our leaders have forgoten what was learned 60 years ago. I believe that it is right that a reprensentative from each country that took part in D-Day (the Germans included) be present to show our respect and unity for all involved. I think that certain countries should have chosen better and more suitable candidates for the job. |
I’m surprised that this show of gratitude to a generation of hero’s was even permitted by New Labour because waving Union Jacks, a Lancaster with it’s bomb bay doors open and talk of killing Nazi’s just isn’t PC.
