A reflection upon 80 years from D-Day

 

Across this week we are marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the allied landings on Normandy, France that started the liberation of Europe at the cost of so many thousands of lives.

It needs to be remembered how many of those who gave their lives were Scouts from when they joined as young boys, learning new skills along the way who answered the call when war was declared, joining the armed services

Watching some of the Tv specials this weekend really broght home to me the horrors many went though both those who died and those who lived having to carry on as comrades and friends lay on the beaches.

Freedom came at a terrible cost. Don't forget it.
