"Even after 67 years, the memory of Normandy’s bloodied waters is still with Major Roy E. Eddy. He was just 20 years old on June 6, 1944, when he piloted a landing craft filled with soldiers on Juno Beach. Most of them he never saw again. Now 87 and living in Mississauga, Eddy — who has returned to Europe 22 times since the war ended — is struggling to understand why the French government is planning to build a wind farm off Juno Beach, where 340 Canadians died on D-Day. “It would completely remove the sanctity of the place,” said Eddy. “For a place that has represented thousands of soldiers that were killed, I think it would be an awful distraction.”
