June 6, 1944. Today, we mark the anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. 14,000 Canadians stormed Juno Beach, showing unparalleled bravery in the face of fierce resistance. 359 Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

We stand in silent gratitude for the heroes who broke through the Atlantic Wall and paved the path to liberation.

It was on this day in 1944, that final preparations began for what would be known as “D-Day.”

The following morning, June 6, 1944, Canadian Forces landed on Juno Beach, one of several Allied landing sites on the northern coast of France. This was the start of the liberation of France and the retaking of Europe from N**i control.

🇨🇦 On June 2, 1917, Canadian flying ace Billy Bishop carried out a daring solo attack on a German aerodrome near Cambrai, France during the First World War. His extraordinary courage and skill earned him the Victoria Cross — the British Empire’s highest award for bravery.

More than a century later, Bishop’s legacy continues to inspire Canadians and military historians alike. ✈️🍁
