On June 6, 2019, the world celebrated the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the landings that saved Europe from tyranny. As former President Barack Obama said, “so much of the progress that would define the 20th century, on both sides of the Atlantic, came down to the battle for a slice of beach only 6 miles long and 2 miles wide.”
Among the hundreds of thousands of Allied troops who assaulted the German strongholds along the coast that day were not just Americans and British troops but also 14,000 Canadian troops who were solely responsible for taking Juno Beach, near the village of Bernieres.
