On June 6, 1944, more than 14,000 Canadians landed on the beaches of Normandy. The Allied D-Day invasion was one of the most pivotal moments of the Second World War.

Facing heavy enemy fire and impossible conditions, Canadian soldiers fought with extraordinary courage to help liberate Europe from German occupation. More than 350 Canadians lost their lives that day, and hundreds more were wounded.

Today, we remember the bravery and sacrifice of all those who served on D-Day and throughout the Battle of Normandy. Their courage changed the course of history.

Lest we forget.

Today, we remember Captain Richard (Steve) Leary, a devoted soldier, and a loving son, brother, and husband.

Known by his comrades as an exceptional soldier and leader, Steve served as a platoon commander with the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. He brought dedication and courage to every role he served.

On June 3, 2008, during his first overseas mission in Afghanistan, Steve was killed in action. He was 32 years old when he died while serving our country.

His courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We remember Colonel Geoffrey Stephen Parker, a respected leader, devoted father, and proud soldier who gave his life in service to Canada.

On May 18, 2010, Colonel Parker was killed by a su***de bomber attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, while serving on a NATO mission. At 42 years old, he was the highest ranking Canadian Armed Forces member to die during the Afghanistan mission—a loss felt deeply across the military and the nation.

Those who served with him remember a natural leader who led from the front, cared deeply for his troops, and embodied professionalism, courage, and humility. His service and sacrifice continue to inspire all who wear the uniform.

We honour his life, his leadership, and the legacy he leaves behind.
