    Well done old soldiers, well done. And now for something completely different, it amazes me how often a media production about the D-Day landings, how often the images from Operation Jubilee, the Canadian Dieppe raid, is used to illustrate the landings.

    I recently heard a surviving veteran say that they were not heroes, the ones who died were the real heroes. May I respectfully disagree. Every one of those involved were and remain heroes, the fallen and the survivors alike.

    My Grandad watched the longest day film and promptly stated he was there for the rehearsal. His war record clocks him in on the 060644 for duty. literally on the day. He lived out the war but stayed a reservist and went back full time during the Korean war. He was a driver engineer and while evacuating soldiers from the nimjim river his vehicle became over run by Korean and Chinese. They climbed all over the vehicles moving or not. To which my Grandad responded by driving his APC through a building and cleaned them all off. "Dont worry lads I ve got this".
