This is footage of the Canadians landing on Juno Beach - June 6, 1944. Specificly the first wave of Canadian solders from the North Shore Regiment (3rd Canadian Division) at Nan sector, Juno beach. The video was captured by a camera on board the landing craft. Canadian soldiers hit the beaches and began the deadliest run of their lives. As they worked their way through the obstacles and minefields they came into the killing zones of the German gun positions. 340 Canadians died out of 1,074 total casualties on June 6th.

This chap as an alternative view on the matter:-

"Anyway my little band of truth seekers I need to explain Remembrance Day which is also know as Poppy Day , Armistice Day and Veterans Day to you. This ritual, that we all blindly take for granted usually takes place in the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and basically consists of everyone stopping what they are doing at 11am on the 11th November and staying silent for two minutes. Then on the nearest Sunday to the 11th a far bigger ritual takes place in some countries and all the worlds leaders hold ceremony's in symbolic places all around the globe. This is known as Remembrance Sunday in the UK. Some countries only have the 11th November as an official holiday. In 2007 the 11th of November falls on Sunday anyway making it an extra special day".

FIX

"Love for the party love for the nation

Love for the fix for the
fabrication

love for the corpse for the
corporation

love for the death and for the
defecation

Romance and assassiniaton

Give me the love of genocide

Give me love"
