Lest We Forget. An Artistic Reminder Of The D Day Landings At Normandy Beach...

A graphic reminder of the price some nine thousand brave souls paid during the D Day landings at Normandy Beaches on June 6, 1944.
Last September, British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss took their project named The Fallen to the same beaches and assisted by hundreds of volunteers, stenciled nine thousand silhouettes representing those who perished in The War To End All Wars.
There's more to their story here.
Sadly, while politicians of today pay lip service to these fallen at commemorative services annually throughout the world, so many still possess the desire for more wars.
Using military or economic forces.
Often against their own people.
The tide must turn.
The world must surely be running out of beaches to commemorate today's dead
and tomorrow's dying...

Lest We Forget...

New Zealand commemorated Anzac Day today.
Thousands of people gathered for dawn parades at venues all around the country to pay their respect and give thanks to the many who fought and died in too many wars.
So we might have freedom.
In the words of John F Kennedy,
Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.
When will the world listen...
