Here is a message to all of my American and Canadian cuzzie-bros, whose parents or grandparents spent some time during the second world war in Britain as part of our shared heroic fight for freedom.

English women had three complaints about you Americans and Canadians:

1) You were overpaid.
2) You were over-sexed
3) And you were “over here”

Thank you all and God bless you!

#NormandyLandings

The #Normandy landings were the landing operations & associated airborne operations on 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in #OperationOverlord during #WorldWar2. Codenamed #OperationNeptune & often referred to as #D_Day (after the military term), it is the largest seaborne #invasion in #history. The operation began the #liberation of #France & the rest of #WesternEurope, & laid the foundations for the #AlliedVictory on the #WesternFront

David Niven: il James Bond per davvero - Boomerissimo

In Casino Royale è stato il James Bond più divertente e sui generis di tutti. Ma prima di essere un agente segreto sullo schermo, David Niven lo fu anche nella vita. Hitler è stato battuto anche grazie a lui.

D-Day, June 6, 1944: “That night, FDR read his D-Day prayer in a radio broadcast.
“Last night, when I spoke to you about Rome, I knew that our troops were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. . . . And so in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
