    75 Years ago today the allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from the grip of Fascism.

    Thought this may be a thread dedicated to me.

    Seriously though, we should never forget the sacrifice for us.

    The opening of Saving Private Ryan is meant to be about the most accurate depiction of what it was like landing in Normandy on D-Day. Filmed in Oirland iirc.

    That first half hour is brutal and I can only think it's not even half as bad as it actually was.

    What a waste of life it all was.
