I just wish that somewhere in the media they would acknowledge that Britsh and Allied forces were also busy fighting elsewhere on that day; as well as the above mentioned Russians, Rome was 'liberated' the day before by the US 5th Army, fighting alongside our own 8th Army; plus there has always been the 'forgotten' 14th Army, ( including my Grandad ), fighting the Japanese. D-Day gives a nice focus for ceremony and celebration, and was a brilliantly executed move, but I feel the coverage and reporting does a dis-service to many other brave men and women.
