D-DAY heroes today wept for their mates gunned down on the beaches of Normandy as the world paid tribute 75 years on from the Allied invasion of France. Some of the last surviving veterans from Operational Overlord shed heartbroken tears at memorial services on both sides of the English Channel for comrades who fell on June 6, 1944. Yesterday at the D-Day 75 commemorations was a day me and my family who attended will never forget. I can never imagine myself being surrounded by so many legends and heroes in one place ever again in my lifetime. We owe them so much. The men and women who rid Europe of tyranny and those who lived to tell the tale. We are so blessed to have our Grandfather still with us, as too the many veterans who were there yesterday and shared amazing accounts of heroism and camaraderie. Something each and every one of us can take away and implement in our own lives. Our lives that are only as of existence as a result of the millions of allied troops and civilians efforts on D Day and the months thereafter. We owe them the deepest amount of gratitude and will do forever more. In today's episode I share with you accounts of the day at Southsea common in Portsmouth where hundreds of thousands of troops set sail on the 5th June 1944, genuine stories from my grandfather himself and how so many values and standards from that generation can be implemented into our own lives today to live a life worth remembering. ** IF YOU ENJOYED TODAY'S EPISODE PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE ME A REVIEW - IT REALLY DOES HELP THE SHOW - THANK YOU **
