8th July 2009 – Pegasus Bridge

We felt really proud today when we visited the Pegasus Bridge memorial, as the Oxon & Bucks Light Infantry played a massive and vital role in the operation. It held special memories as Dean’s dad had played the bugle and more recently our brother –in-law has also played there.

Recently, John also ran a tough charity 65 mile marathon to Pegasus Bridge for Project 65 http://www.project65.net/

The museum was well worth going to as it explains the build-up, the kit they had to wear, how immensely difficult it would have been for the glider pilots to even get to their destination, and what happened once they landed. One reason to be really proud of our armed forces, irrespective of politics.
