On 19 August 1942, over 6,050 infantry set foot on Dieppe beach with high hopes. Unfortunately, none of the objectives set were met, and a total of 4800 soldiers were either killed, wounded, or captured, with over 900 deaths among the Canadians alone. We remember them today and always. #LestWeForget

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Jake Larson 'Papa Jake', at 102 years old. A true American hero, beloved D-Day veteran and TikTok star, Jake landed on Omaha Beach in #Normandy on 6th June 1944, and dedicated his life to honoring the memory of his fallen brothers.

A new Canadian D-Day monument will be built on Juno Beach.
The Juno Beach Centre honours all Canadians who served and sacrificed during WW2. However, to date there was no single monument on Juno Beach that contained the names of each of the 381 Canadians who lost their lives on June 6, 1944 🇫🇷❤️🇨🇦
