I know in our worlds this game is real important tonight but to ground my feet a bit I realized:
The U.S., Canadian, and British allied forces invaded the Nazi-held beaches in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, what was 77 years ago today. There were over 10,000 casualties to allied forces that day. German forces Casualties were only estimates but also significant.
In an act I can’t imagine, Parents sent their 18 year old kids to war to fight for our freedoms and they never came home. Some people and some generations were asked to sacrifice allot more.
I know Remembrance Day is once a year but today feels like an important day for me to take a moment to realize 77 years ago lives were sacrificed so I have the luxury of watching a hockey game in my own home over-served on cheap booze thanks to
@flyingkiwi .
Thank you to those that sacrificed everything. I will never forget and I will teach my kids to never forget.
