2015.06.06 : 71st. Anniversary of D-Day landing in Normandie, France

I received today a second card, sent by Aurélie from another historic place on the Normandy Coast in commemoration of D-Day. She wrote there were, as every year, festivities organised in remembrance of Operation Overlord.

2015.06.06 : 71st. Anniversary of D-Day landing in Normandie, France

No big events were scheduled nor the release of any special stamp or cover. Whatever, we don't need this to commemorate one of the major battles of the westerne Theater of World War II.

Junie was so kind to send me a postcard from Normandie (where everything still breaths the effects of the landing as she justly writes) in remembrance of D-Day.
