Canadian World War II veterans at Juno Beach following the Canadian National Ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, in Courselles-sur-Mer, France, on June 6, 2024. The Canadian Press/Adrian WyldCommentaryEvery year on June 6, Canadians gather to remember D-Day. We remember the young men who climbed into landing craft in the darkness before dawn. We remember the soldiers who crossed the English Channel knowing that many would never return. We remember the Canadians who stormed Juno Beach and fought their way inland through machine gun fire, artillery barrages, and determined German resistance. We call them the Greatest Generation, and rightly so.
