hi everybody.

 

today is june 6: the D-Day anniversary.

 


this recurrence is to me as a sort of the american memorial day.

 

it is the day when history changed forever, and when the determination

and courage of the allies began sweeping away nazifascism

from europe.

 

perhaps too much time has passed, and the better day that

was dawning that morning, perhaps is by now in its

twilight.

 

nevertheless, and all today's miseries notwithstanding, that

day was a great day, and i hope that its spirit is still

inspiring for those who are still able to remember it.

 

honor to the fallen from all sides.

 

ciao. bobo.

To all the fallen and survivors on that day, I thank you and you have my deepest respect. For it wasn't for your sacrifices we would not be free. We would be under a Nazi controlled leadership and there would be even more racism and atrocities that there is today. I salute you all! :salute:

D-Day, the Invasion of Normandy was a pivotal event of the 2nd World  War an event we should not forget. I have had the privilege of being to the Normandy beaches and some of the cemeteries, all very moving for me.:salute:

June 6th is always a big day for WWII buffs. Since being a kid i`ve had a book on the Overlord campaign and would sign the book

every june 6th with the date & year.

 

Me & my modeling friend recently watched Saving Private Ryan together as a prelude to june 6th. He had built up a Tamiya Beaufighter

and had applied the B&W stripes....over a BOB brown/green camo scheme. Very difficult to look at for someone interested in somewhat

accurate historical camo schemes. I was unable to comment on it but i can tell you it didn`t sit right with me. Poor simpleminded feller

seemed to enjoy his newly found bird sitting on his shelf. Thankfully he`s not very worried about all the dust settling on all his kit, lol.
