Hi guys, <br /> <br />Share your views on this, never forget the few; they gave their all for us - whatever the conflict and whoever the politician. I count myself as one of the lucky ones in that I have never had to fight in war. One grandfather was at Gallipoli and then the Somme and my other grandfather was in the trenches in the 1st war (that was the one to end all wars). My father was in the navy in the 2nd and landed in France on D Day + 2 to clear underwater obstructions from around the mulberry's. My effort was confined to the back streets of various towns in NW England & North Wales locking up bad ba....ds for 8 years. This weekend is a rememberance one for the fallen of D-Day, 60 years on Sunday. Unfortunately a recent poll in the UK showed that the majority of under 25's don't know what D-Day was about -sad old world. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
