We present this Canadian Perspective of D Day on June 6, 1944 not only to honour those Canadians who participated but all the soldiers, sailors and airmen of all nations who were involved and many of whom did not return. It has now been 69 years since that fateful day and we must not let future generations forget what happened that day and in the following months…Survivors of the events of June 1944 may not be with us much longer and should be remembered for their sacrifices during that time…and NEVER FORGOTTEN!

We fully realize that the forces of a great many allied countries participated in the events of June 6, 1944 and unfortunately as much as we wish we could we do not have the space to honour each and every country involved. Suffice it to say that we are profoundly grateful and sympathize with all the combatant countries who helped end the scourge of the Second World War and lost innumerable of their countrymen in doing so.
