Pressure

Could you confidently send 350,000 men across the channel in small boats based on a weather forecast? In 1944, James Stagg had to forecast the weather and make that judgement call for the D-Day landings. Without its success, Victory in Europe was by no means assured. The author David Haig said of the play " There is a heroism in integrity and a heroism in honesty despite all of the influences around you. There's also often heroism in ordinariness." As we remember VE Day, let us not forget that the ordinary man can be the hero too.
