I didn't really know it was the 75th anniversary. I'm not really sure why we are 'celebrating' it. I'm respectful of the sacrifice and glad we won, I don't think anyone is going to argue that Hitler and his pals were anything but thoroughly bad eggs (Trump probably reckons there were good people on both sides). That said, I was born many, many years after and no one in my family fought in the war (my grandparents were around, but since they were all miners, the closest they came was my gran, who made bullets in Player's cigarette factory, bullets being a faster-format cigarette when it came to death). Oh and the Luftwaffe tried to bomb my gran. Marked for death, she was. Or a lost bomber was dumping its spodeload. Unless a field in the East Midlands was a strategic target. Let's make some holes in fields, Adolf, they'll capitulate then.
That said, I'm minded it's not a bad thing if it gives a buzz of recognition to any of the old folks who did make the sacrifice. I can't be bothered with jingoistic nonsense though.
