It brings a lump to your throat.
#14
My Dad was there at D-Day + 1or 2 and went through France / Belgium and on to Germany. Never really talked about it and never was into getting his medals or doing the whole Cenotapf thing so when he died we - his sons and daughters applied for his medals.
My Mum and Granddad worked building parts for spitfires and one of our treasured items is a household item that my granddad turned out on his lathe on his lunch break - if they had one) its engraved 1945. It seems it was done when the nation realised that we are going to win this and the spitfire the lump of aluminium was destined for was not so important after all.   
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
