Thank you to John Healey and Lord (Vernon) Coaker for your presence at DDay82 at the British Normandy Memorial. We honoured the memory of Lord Coaker’s uncle, Sgt Vernon Coaker, killed on 6 June 1944 at the age of 23, and that of all his comrades who fell under British command in the 1944 battles.

At 23:00hrs on 5 June 1944, men of the 22nd Independent Parachute Company synchronised their watches at RAF Harwell before departing for Normandy.

Hours later, more than 21,000 Allied airborne troops would descend into France.

Many would never return.

Lest We Forget.

🔴 As Kegsbreath has the unadulterated cheek to parrot kremlin counterpropaganda at #DDay82 commemorations, it's important for Europe @ec.europa.eu to FULLY understand that we are now ALONE, as the White House happily works for their kremlin masters

The US led NATO is dead. A new Alliance is needed.

American General Dwight D. Eisenhower's D-Day Message
Eighty-two years ago today, General Eisenhower gave this speech to the troops on the eve of D-Day. Let it motivate us against the forces of fascism, just like it did those who landed at Normandy. #DDay82

#DDay82: In the years and months leading up to D Day, Allied planners had a steady stream of human intelligence from networks run by SIS/MI6 and it's allies, from beach defences and AA/radar sites to troop movements, adding to the all-source picture before Allied troops landed.
