Transcription
I had occasion to, for one person to come up to me there when we were at Beny-sur-Mer and he said, “I was six years old when they, it, when they landed here,” he said, “at Juno Beach” and he said, “I was six years old.” I said, “Do you remember that? ” “Oh yeah,” he said, he remembered. Like, he could speak good English and he said, his parents of course kept him hidden away somewhere but he said, “I remember very well,” he said, “when the people landed here on..” He was six years old. You know, he gave me a big hug which was pretty good. I don’t know, just, hopefully the kids today, you know, realize what happened, you know, they learn from it. That’s all you can hope for, really.
