Mitchieville Remembers June 6, 1944

The anniversary of D-Day is always remembered in the Reginaldson household as my Great-Uncle Felix landed on Juno Beach as part of the second wave on that historic morning in 1944.   I posted about D-Day last year (see here) but haven't gotten around to telling the story of Felix yet.  I'm not going to post about Felix this year either.  One day I'll write a post worthy of his sacrifice.  Till then, I'll leave things be with the inscription my great-grandparents chose for his headstone:

"Your death has left a loneliness the world can never heal"
