The @CBFFCCB is replacing the 31st Cdn Minesweeper Flotilla plaque at WN 62 at Omaha Beach. Their records don't have the dimensions of the plaque. Would any Normandy guides, recent visitors have this info, or could get it without too much difficulty? Thx

Thank you for this statement, @FrankCaputoKTC. We need Canadians to raise their collective voice to ensure the legacy our Veterans left for us at Juno Beach remains intact.
In an increasingly polarized world, few truly sacred spaces remain. Juno Beach transcends divides and represents all that we take pride in as a nation. We cannot let it or the Juno Beach Centre to be threatened. #SaveJunoBeach #Cdnpoli #Kamloops #Thompson #Cariboo

Yesterday evening at the Menin Gate ceremony. @RCRMuseum I was easily able to find the names of all RCR soldiers who died on the Ypres salient and have no known grave like the rest of their comrades in arms. 💛💙🖤 #LestWeForget #ProPatria #RCRhistory #FWW
