One veteran said today to a BBC reporter, "Don't glorify the landings, we were all terrified."
Today and most of this week ceremonies have been held all over Normandy to remember those who set out 65 years ago today to protect our freedom. The allied troops invaded the shores of Normandy to attack a bitter enemy. Fierce courage and determination drove these men on that day when they knew full well many would not live to see another sunrise.
We owe them more than words can say. We also owe the fallen of modern wars the same debt. A debt which cannot be paid by words but by action and our action should be to ensure today's military are given the best equipment available. Let us never forget their sacrifice or their contribution towards our freedom. Some may try to rewrite history but they must always be exposed. Others write history with precision.
