Exactly M, I can only imagine the horrors and nightmares those brave folk (like your father) endured.
It isn't often I feel emotional, but I certainly did watching the D day specials. I live in hope that more people can show the same sort of selflessness required to bring our society back towards the one they fought and in a lot of cases died for.
We owe them a massive debt an the best way to pay that debt back is to see to it that NEVER again is such a sacrifice needed....
.....with that being said, I'm sure you can understand when I say I hope the creature who robbed this poor guy gets the bullet.

It makes me feel physically sick that someone could do such a despicable act
