National Day of Commemoration Sunday 11 July 2010
The National Day of Commemoration is the day on which all those Irish men and women that have fallen in past wars or in service with the UN are honoured.
It is estimated that around 120,000 Irishmen served in the Second World War and today the role of Wexfordman, Rickard Donovan, in D-Day was featured on TV programme Nationwide. You can also read his story here.
