Dear Editor,
I hope my words will be printed to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.
As a D-Day veteran of WW2 I felt – and still feel – we all must protect peace for all and co-operation between nations.
Tony Delahoy
In May 1945 the longed-for Peace came to Europe.
The joy, happiness,relief and sadness overtook Europe.
From that date there was a determination that the people of Europe co-operate in building an organisation to represent all peoples.
An agreement was reached on the formation of the United Nations, at which issues and policies could be agreed.
As a worldwide organisation a tremendous amount was done ro help people.
The formation of a European organisation became necessary to solve problems that were arising. The European Union has followed and developed this spirit of co-operation.
The greatest achievement of the EU is that Europe is, and has remained for decades, united in peace.
The people of Europe will defend the peace they have created.
Tony Delahoy
