The 60th  anniversary of D Day reminds us too many did not come back, others  
carrying wounds that affected the rest of their lives - we owe them a debt  
that can never be forgotten or adequately repaid.  To all those  Americans 
that helped Australia in WWII, thank you from me (and untold  other grateful 
aussies) who was not born til after, but had a dad who  served in japanese 
occupied New Guinea, died young because of  this.

Australia only had about 2,500 in the D day landings, but the  papers here 
have carried the story of one, a 24 year old Melbourne  footballer, D Day his 
birthday.  His role was to go in an unarmed  boat close to the big shore guns 
and radio back where the ships guns  shells were landing to get the allied 
range correct.  He was  eventualy blown out of the water by the huge German 
guns, he credited to  be the first aussie killed in D Day.

Living in Detroit, I am fortunate enough to be able to receive Canadian  
television programming.  A large portion of the programming today was in  memorium 
of the 60th anniversary of D-Day, from the Normandie Coast.  Among  the 
veterans attending were a contingent from New Zealand.  It was touching  to see how 
the veterans from Canada and other parts of the "British Empire"  countries 
"wear their colors".  I, too, remember that day... I was 11 years  old.
