6月6日是诺曼底登陆75周年纪念日，英国首相梅姨朗诵英军上校斯金纳写给妻子的一封信。斯金纳上校在随部队抵达诺曼底的第二天阵亡，人们在遗体的上衣口袋里发现了这封家书。梅姨深情诵读感人至深，台下观众听到失声痛哭。
A letter from captain Norman Skinner Royal Army Service Corps to his wife, written two days before setting sail for Normandy 3rd of June 1944.
My darling, this is a very difficult letter for me to write.
As you know something may happen at any moment, and I cannot tell when you will receive this.
I had hoped to be able to see you during last weekend but it was impossible to get away, and all the things I intended to say must be written.
I'm sure that anyone with imagination must dislike the thought of what's coming, but my fears will be more of being afraid than of what can happen to me.
You and I have had some lovely years, which now seem to have passed at lightning speed.
My thoughts at this moment in this lovely Saturday afternoon are with you all now.
I can imagine you in the garden having tea with Jamie and Ann, getting ready to put them to bed.
Although I would give anything to be back with you, I have not yet had any wish at all to back down from the job we have to do.
There is so much that I would like to be able to tell you, nearly all of which you've heard many many times, but just to say that I mean it even more today.
