Posso dire "Io c'ero" ! Si c'ero nei giorni delle celebrazioni del 75 ° anniversario del D-Day ! E' stato così tanto emozionante assistere alle celebrazioni di questo evento fondamentale per la nostra democrazia e libertà, venuta in seguito a quella indimenticabile vicenda storica, per l'appunto, lo sbarco in Normandia. Appena dopo una commemorazione alla quale partecipavano una ventina di veterani, alcuni dei qali in carrozzina, una pronipote di questi quattro veterani di età compresa tra i 94 ed i 98 anni, li ha preceduti andando verso la spiaggia che in codice venne chiamata "Sword beach" ed ha scritto sulla sabbia, Harry crew, a caratteri cubitali. Piano piano, proprio come 75 annia prima, questi eternamente giovani si sono ritrovati gomito a gomito sulla stessa spiaggia dove allora erano stati catapultati sotto il fischiare dei colpi micidiali che nel solo primo giorno dello sbarco mieterono più di 10.000 tra soldati alleati morti e feriti. Sotto un venticello teso che gonfiava i pantaloni e faceva svolazzare la cravatta, nel loro portamento, come si può vedere, vive ancora l'antica fierezza, nonostante l'occhio appena un pò liquoroso per l'emozione. Ed è stata un'emozione altrettanto incredibile quella da me provata nell'abbraccio commosso seguito alla loro ancor vigorosa stretta di mano, un'abbraccio da parte mia in senso di sincero ringraziamento per averci regalato un mondo, seppure ancora perfettibile, libero da guerre almeno nel nostro occidente un tempo assai litigioso, e che vive di una pace a memoria d'uomo mai di così lunga durata, ben 75 anni !

Beautiful document/portrait that brings back the pride of those who risked their lives to give freedom to the people. Smiling seeing them in this space of sea and sky is a symbol of life. Great composition and colors, very good.

The 76th anniversary is getting closer and my fear is that those heroic veterans may have been mowed down by the Covid-19 more than they could the deadly shots fired by the enemies !
I have endless thanks Stephen!
