Mr. Speaker, on June 6 I had the honour of visiting a photo display at Sunnybrook Veterans Centre in my riding of Don Valley West to commemorate D-Day. There I met with three of the many veterans residing at Sunnybrook. Bernard Julotte, now 98 years old, landed at Normandy on D-Day. It was truly moving to hear his first-hand account of the landing and his vivid memories.
There was a photo love story on display as well, captured by Brigadier-General Harry Brodie, that told the story of how he met his wife during the war. Jack Ford, now 92 years old, had on display a number of photos he took while a member of RCAF Squadron 414's photo unit. While organizing his photos for this year's commemorations, he came upon a stack of negatives. These photos, taken in the days after the invasion when supplies were being brought in, were on full display for residents, family members, and visitors to enjoy.
These are three of the many World War II stories at Sunnybrook Veterans Centre. Lest we forget.
