(C) A Canadian delegation travelled to Courseulles-sur-Mer, France for the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy.

(S) Veterans, CAF members, and other members of the delegation attended a ceremony held at the Juno Beach Centre.

(C) We spoke to attendees to learn more about the commemoration of this historic effort.

(JC) Tomorrow morning when we wake up after sleeping on the beaches, we’re going to be getting ready for our parades later on in the afternoon. I think it’s going to be an emotional morning for a lot of us. Just the opportunity we have to be on the same beaches that all the people that came before us were on. It’s going to be unreal. Couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity. I don’t think I’ll have the opportunity to do something like this again in my lifetime and I’ll probably remember this for the rest of my life.

(S) It’s a great month for a ball game, why not play two?
