🇨🇦 WE WILL REMEMBER D-DAY 🇨🇦

On June 6, 1944, thousands of brave Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy in one of the most significant military operations in history. Their courage, sacrifice, and determination helped secure the freedoms we continue to enjoy today.

As we approach D-Day Remembrance Day 2026, we pause to honour the Canadian men and women who answered the call of duty and those who never made it home.

📅 In recognition of D-Day, the flags at
Royal Canadian Legion Fort Malden Branch 157
will be lowered next Friday evening as a mark of remembrance and respect.

We encourage our community to take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation and to remember the bravery shown on the shores of Normandy 82 years ago.

“Those who were there will never forget. Those who were not there must never fail to remember.”

Lest We Forget. 🇨🇦
