| 🇨🇦 82è anniversaire du Jour J
🍁 Sur les 156 000 soldats alliés débarqués ou parachutés le 6 juin 1944, 14 000 étaient Canadiens. Ce jour-là, 381 soldats canadiens ont perdu la vie.
La campagne de Normandie durera dix semaines et coûtera au Canada plus de 18 000 pertes, dont environ 5 500 morts.
🌺 Aujourd’hui, ces héros reposent, pour la plupart, dans les cimetières militaires de Bény-sur-Mer/Reviers et Cintheaux/Bretteville-sur-Laize.
🙏 Ils reposent en Normandie depuis 82ans, sur la terre qu’ils ont libérée pour que vive la liberté. Nous nous souvenons d'eux.
