To all the ordinary men who did extraordinary things,
To all the men who came overseas to give us back our freedom,
To all the brave men who fought to liberate mankind from
the iron grips of madness and tyrrany
To a whole generation who did so much sacrifices to allow us
to live in a free world,

THANK YOU veterans

To meet men like this is to understand why events turned out the way they did 70 years ago
