 - The Isles of Volmun  - A Mysterious Archipelago in the Pacific Ocean Nestled in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, the Isles of Volmun were first discovered over two centuries ago by Polynesian wayfinders and later encountered by European sailors. These islands are home to a wealth of unique flora and fauna, as well as the Indigenous Huzamite people, renowned for their immense size and uncanny facial proportions. The Isles of Volmun are shrouded in mystery, frequently disappearing from radar and satellite feeds. This phenomenon has sparked ongoing debates about their existence. Despite this, many settlers have successfully located the islands, established lives and built prosperous cities and towns over the decades. However, no military force, past or present, has been able to find or approach these elusive islands. The Isles of Volmun remain one of the world's most intriguing destinations. https://lnkd.in/dprA-ESh

Our final event held in Sydney just a few weeks ago marks the end of the formal celebrations however, we have one final thing to share with our team and our followers. Thanks to Serge D. and the team at WA DEFENCE REVIEW for the fantastic video, which you can access below. It does a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of Griffin Marine Services and sharing the passion of Martyn Stroud and Troy Ranford, the passion that started the company and helped get it to where it is today.

History

Give gratitude to the heroic Newfoundland dogs during World War II and D-Day: During World War II, Newfoundland dogs played an important role in various military and rescue efforts. These large, strong, and intelligent dogs were well-suited for tasks such as: **Messenger Dogs**: Newfoundland dogs were used to carry messages and dispatches between military units, as their size and strength allowed them to navigate rough terrain that was impassable for humans. **Water Rescue**: Newfoundland dogs' natural swimming abilities made them valuable assets in water rescue operations. They assisted in saving downed pilots and crew members from the ocean, as well as helping with search and rescue missions. **Trench Warming**: Newfoundland dogs were sometimes placed in the trenches with soldiers to provide warmth and companionship during the cold, damp conditions of trench warfare. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, Newfoundland dogs played a small but important role in the Allied invasion of Normandy. Newfoundland dogs were used to aid in the rescue of Allied troops from the English Channel after their landing craft were sunk or damaged by enemy fire. The thick, water-resistant coats and powerful swimming abilities of the Newfoundland breed made them well-suited for this perilous task. While their overall contribution was relatively modest compared to the immense scale of the D-Day landings, the Newfoundland dogs' efforts nonetheless contributed to the eventual Allied victory in World War II. #newfoundlanddog #waterrescuedog #HeroDogs #worldwar2 #dday80anniversary #DDay

D Day Landings 6th June 1944 What are some of the key lessons we should be thankful for? 1. The Power of Allied Unity The Allied forces, comprising troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and several other nations, worked together towards a common goal. This unity and collaboration remind us of the importance and effectiveness of alliances in overcoming significant challenges. 2. The Importance of Planning and Strategy The meticulous planning and strategic foresight that went into the D-Day landings highlight the necessity of thorough preparation and careful coordination in achieving complex objectives. The intricate planning involved intelligence gathering, deception operations (like Operation Bodyguard), and the detailed logistics of coordinating a massive amphibious assault. 3. The Value of Sacrifice and Bravery The immense bravery and sacrifices made by the soldiers who participated in the D-Day landings are a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the courage required to fight for freedom. 4. Technological and Tactical Innovation D-Day showcased the critical role of innovation in warfare. New technologies and tactics were developed and deployed, such as the use of airborne forces, specialised landing crafts (Higgins boats), and the artificial Mulberry Harbours. This lesson underscores the importance of innovation and adaptability in overcoming obstacles and achieving success. 5. The Endurance of Human Spirit The resilience and determination exhibited by the Allied forces during the D-Day landings exemplify the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity. This lesson is a powerful reminder of the strength and perseverance that can drive individuals and groups to accomplish extraordinary feats, even under the most challenging circumstances. We shall remember them 🙏

How can it be Memorial Day weekend already? This holiday marks the unofficial start of summer, and it’s a time to reflect on the sacrifices of our fallen heroes. In my latest blog, I share my mantra of living with Wild Abandon – joyfully gathering with friends and family – and the importance of honoring Memorial Day. Check out my blog for more insights and reflections.

On June 6, 1944 (80 years ago), brave soldiers from the Allied forces embarked on a mission that required unparalleled courage and resilience. They changed the course of history! As I reflect on this momentous day, I am humbled by their sacrifice and the profound impact it has had on our world. The impact it had on their present and our future! The stories of heroism and determination that emerged from the beaches of Normandy are a poignant reminder of the cost of freedom and the strength of the human spirit. These men and women, many of whom were just young adults, faced unimaginable challenges with unwavering resolve. Their legacy is a powerful testament to the values of bravery, unity, and selflessness. I can't even imagine the fear and uncertainity they must have felt! For me, D-Day is more than a historical event; it is a source of inspiration and a call to honor those who have served and continue to serve. It reminds me of the importance of resilience in the face of adversity, the impact that collective action can have on shaping a better future and how their selfless patriotism has given me the life I have today . As we commemorate this day, let us take a moment to remember and honor the sacrifices made by the heroes of D-Day. May we strive to live by their example, cherishing the freedoms they fought for and working towards a world where peace and justice prevail. #DDay #Reflection #HonorAndSacrifice #RememberingHeroes #GritGovernmentSolutions
