Storming Juno - Lest We Forget

Lest we forget all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in all the wars, past and present.
This post is about the docudrama on History.ca called Storming Juno.  A very well done program that stays as close to reality as possible.  Very graphic combat scenes interwoven with some combat footage done during the June 6th , 1944 Normandy invasion.
About 16,000 Canadians landed on D-Day at Juno suffering about 1,000 casualties.  They were the first units to seize their prime objectives and moved further inland then any other Army.  I highly recommend that we all watch this show and never forget.
