Vladislav Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Every 5 years plenty of people come to Normandy for selebration. Mostly WW2 enthusiasts and sure the veterans. I doubt many if any participate the event this year though. I saw a few 5 years ago but they were very old people already. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74240-80-years-today-since-d-day/#findComment-553273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
