Default Dieppe 70 years

I guess with The Captain on sabbatical these memorial threads are up to someone else. Before the day is completely gone I wanted to recognize August 19 as the 70th anniversary of the ill-fated Dieppe raid. It was a dark day for Canada but was instrumental in the success of D Day. These incredibly brave men deserve the upmost respect.

I believe Bell commissioned this ad for the 60th anniversary. It's perhaps the most moving thing I've seen and probably the greatest commercial ever. To all the grandfathers out there, we thank you too.
