OUR D-DAY HEROES: in memory of those who lost their lives, and those whose lives were changed forever

If your loved one played their part in the D-Day landings 80 years ago, or if you wish to pay tribute to the Greatest Generation, we are honoured to help you commemorate them. 

Share your D-Day hero’s story with pride; and help today’s heroes in their memory. Whether they served in 1944 or 2024, together we can make sure veterans don't suffer in silence. As a special thank you, everyone who makes a donation will receive a commemorative "My Hero" candle to help you remember your D-Day hero. 

Remember our D-Day Heroes

Granddad was in the Royal Horse Artillery and part of the troops brought back from Italy to prepare for D-Day. Not that they knew that, of course. They just knew it was “something big”. Granddad was a driver and waited in his wagon for two days. His orders were basic. “My CO told me: ‘As soon as you feel your tyres hit the sand, drive. Get off the beach, turn left, follow the signs for Caen and don’t stop till you get there’.” He could not have imagined what lay ahead. We love and miss you, Granddad. You will always be our hero.
