Today marks the 80th anniversary of the most important days in Canadian history and world history, the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Over 14,000 Canadian soldiers took part in the invasion and Canadian troops were ordered to take Juno Beach.
The Canadian victory on D-Day was paid for with sacrifice of over 300 Canadian troops. The successful mission marked the beginning of the end of the Nazi regime.
For likely the last time, Canadian D-Day veterans gathered on Juno Beach today, standing shoulder to shoulder, to mark this special anniversary.
On this episode of Ratio’d, Harrison Faulkner plays prerecorded footage of two Canadian D-Day veterans to explain what that day was really like.
