Nice post. It's sad that these guys are now in their 80's. AND I never knew there were Canadian paratroopers in Normandy! It was good seeing some of these WWII pictures again. Some of the pics you see all the time but some, like the one of the troops in the LCI, are new to me.

I love pictures of our older folk. The character just oozes out of the photo. This one is a beauty and you can see the pride in his face.
