DDayTrust

The Portsmouth DDay Memorial Trust supports the work of the DDay Story in Portsmouth, UK to preserve the memory of those who took part in the Normandy landings.

[DDayTrust @DDayTrust]

The men and women of D-Day hold a special place in the nation’s heart. With your help, they will be honored and treasured forever at The Normandy Memorial Wall. Friends and relatives of those who took part in the campaign are invited to commission the installation of a brick.

A small group of us met with the Lord Mayor, clerics and friends from the synagogue at the Holocaust Memorial Tree @DDayTrust museum to remember @HMD_UK Holocaust Memorial Day. Let’s we forget. #Southsea #HolocaustMemorialDay #Portsmouth

As we give thanks for all those who sacrificed themselves for Dday 1944 please consider helping the work of the Dday Story by remembering a loved one who took part. @TheDDayStory

For #Portsmouth people, D-Day is not one event that we should focus on for a day or even a week, it is part of the fabric of what makes this city great. It’s about recognising the bravery and determination of veterans like my own Grandad. Lest we forget #DDay76
