RIGHT NOW in 1944, this is the scene in Normandy. The liberation of France is underway #DDay

[alex kershaw @kershaw_alex]

The last living officer to fight on Omaha Beach, Major General John Raaen, 104.

In 1944, right now, he wades ashore. “We landed at 7:50 a.m. where there were breakwaters and we had plenty of cover.” Even so, Raaen came under a “tremendous amount” of small arms fire from the nearby bluffs and several German strongpoints. There was “constant noise,” a ceaseless “roar.” Bullets cracked in the air, “pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, above you. The machine gun fire was absolutely continuous.”

When I met Raaen back in 2018, he told me he could still hear the sound of those bullets snapping over his head, the wall of noise that greeted him as he waded ashore. He crossed Omaha Beach, moved up steep bluffs, reached Vierville sur Mer around noon then set up the 5th Rangers’ first command post in Normandy. His first, critical mission was to organize the relief of fellow Rangers, surrounded and fighting for their lives five miles away at Pointe du Hoc, having scaled vertiginous cliffs under fire. These men from the 2nd Ranger Battalion had carried out one of the now legendary feats of D Day, described by Omar Bradley as the “most dangerous mission”.

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.

A day many of us have been looking forward to, it is National Limerick Day! Here’s my fave, let us know what yours is.

There once was a fellow named Hyde,
who fell in a biffy and died.
His brother, unfortunate soul,
fell in a similar hole.
Now they’re interred side by side.

Gotta see it to believe it. Best wishes for a full recovery to the motorcycle rider.

[Sarbraj Singh Kahlon @sarbrajskahlon]

Horrific scene near the Surrey/Delta border on Scott Rd following a collision b/w a vehicle & a motorcycle.

Delta Pd say the motorcycle rider sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries & was transported to hospital. The driver of the vehicle was not injured.

Scott Rd b/w 72 & 70 Ave is currently closed.

What a buffoon. Reminds me of the time he cut off, and walked in front of, the Queen.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Donald Trump cut in front of Queen Camilla and King Charles to greet officials from his administration.

And this is who tens of millions voted for. What an embarrassment.
