Least we forget....

Today is a very special day for all Canadians, 65 years ago on the 6th of June at 07h45 the 3rd Canadian Division landed on Juno Beach in Normandy. Juno was the most heavily defended beach of the 5 Allie landing sites. By the end of D-Day the 3rd Canadian Division had penetrated farther into France than any other Allied force, advancing roughly 10 km at the cost of almost 1,000 casualties, including 335 killed.I feel immense pride in knowing what Canadians soldiers accomplished on the more heavily defended beaches. As was with Vimy Ridge just decades earlier the Canadians were called upon for the hardest task. I am very proud to be a Canadian Soldier and on hard days like today it is an honour to wear the same uniform and represent Canada at war as others have before me.
