On June 6, 1944, over 14,000 young Canadian soldiers stormed ashore at Juno Beach, launching the D-Day invasion of France which would eventually liberate Europe from the tyranny, murder and occupation of Nazi Germany. In late May 2010, I had the opportunity to visit Juno Beach to write a feature piece for the Windsor Star on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. On this beach 369 Canadian soldiers lost their lives. These are some of the pictures I took that day.
