ʻO ka mōʻaukala o ka hana ʻana o ka Torbay Blue Plaque e Torbay Civil Society Association President Ian Handford - i kēia pule, Torquay Vanishing Point:
I ka makahiki 2015, ua hoʻoholo like ka Torbay Citizens 'Association, me ka Torquay's Normandy Veterans Association, e hoʻolauleʻa i ka lā Landing French 1944 i ʻelua manawa ma o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka pōhaku granite ma ka uapo kukui e kōkua i ka lehulehu e hoʻomaopopo i ke kukui ʻīpuka, nā apo uila, a me nā kiʻi kiʻi code Morse āpau.
Ua hoʻolālā ʻia a hoʻokomo ʻia e Bob Bard o Exeter ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo ka hana no ka lehulehu - he keʻa, ke apo a me kahi leka Morse code.
ʻOiai ua kapa ʻia ʻo Vanishing Point Memorial, he kakaikahi wale nō ka poʻe i maopopo i ka pono o lākou e kū kokoke i kahi keʻa ʻālohilohi i hiki i kou noʻonoʻo ke noʻonoʻo i ka US 4th Infantry Regiment e lawe ana i ke kai i nā kahakai o Normandy i Iune 1944.
Ua hoʻonoho ʻia nā kāne 21,000 ma Devon a ma kahi o Devon ma mua o ko lākou hele ʻana i kahi mikiona huna i pae hope ma Utah Beach ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka Allied neʻe i ʻEulopa a me Kelemania.
Kākoʻo ʻia ke keʻa a me ke apo e ke kolu o nā mea i loaʻa i nā māka code Morse i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma ka papa.
Hiki ke wehewehe ʻia lākou me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kā mākou papa inoa o nā code Morse aupuni ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka plaque hoʻomanaʻo stainless steel nui ma ka pōhaku.
I ka hoʻoholo ʻana e kūkulu i kēia mea hoʻomanaʻo, ua hoʻohana mākou i kahi mason e hana pū ana me ke Kāpena ʻo Torbay Harbor Kevin Mowat a me nā poʻe kahiko o Normandy e kalai i ka pōhaku ma kahi o ka plaque polū.
Ua kūkulu ʻia ka hoʻomanaʻo i mea e maʻalahi ai ka poʻe e hele aʻe e hoʻomaopopo i ka manaʻo noʻonoʻo ma hope o kēia hana noʻeau.
ʻOiai ke kūkulu ʻana i kia hoʻomanaʻo mau ma ka pā, ua ʻike mākou i ka pono o ke kau ʻana i nā pōhaku ma luna o ka uapo pōhaku.
No laila, pono i ka mea hana ʻaelike o ke komisina ke hana i kahi ala kūpono ma ka papa i hiki ke hoʻopaʻa paʻa ʻia nā ʻāpana pōhaku nui i loko o ke kaʻa ma ka ʻili o ka uapo.
Ua komo kēia i kekahi mau kipa ʻana/kūkākūkā me JC Stonemasons o Decoy Quarry, Newton Abbot ma mua o ka ʻae ʻana o nā hoa a pau e hiki i ka DJC Ltd ke hoʻomau i ke kōmike.
Hāʻawi a kālai ʻia ka hui i ʻelua mau ʻāpana i ka pōhaku e lawe i ʻelua papa - kahi papa inoa o nā leka a me ka code Morse.
Hoʻomaka ʻia ka wehe ʻana no Iune 6, ka makahiki 71st o D-Day ma Normandy, kahi e mālama ʻia ai nā parade o nā kūpuna i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
Ua hui pū nā lālā o ke kaiāulu a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe iā mākou ma ka Royal Yacht Club ma Beacon Terrace ma 9:30am a ua hauʻoli mākou i ke kofe/tea ʻoluʻolu e hoʻokipa i nā poʻe kahiko o Normandy ma mua o ko mākou iho ʻana i lalo i ka Terrace e hui pū me ka lehulehu.hoʻomanaʻo ma ka pā o ka hale kukui.
Ma hope o ka lawelawe pōkole ʻana, ʻike mākou ʻo Torbay City Council Mayor Gordon Oliver a me ka US Ambassador i wehe i kā mākou plaque hoʻomanaʻo a me ka papa inoa code Morse.
ʻEhā mau makahiki ma hope mai, i ka makahiki 2021, ua leka uila mai kekahi lālā o ka lehulehu iā mākou i ka nalowale ʻana o ka plaque nui loa ma kāna kumu granite, i ʻaihue ʻia.
ʻAʻole i liʻiliʻi i hoʻokahi hola ma hope mai, hele au a ʻimi ma ka uapo, ʻaʻohe mea i loaʻa.No ka noi ʻana i ka ʻike, ua ʻike mākou ua ʻike kekahi kiaʻi i kā mākou pā ma kahi mākaʻikaʻi pō o ka uapo a mālama ʻo ia, me ka manaʻo he waiwai ia o ka Mana Awa.
Ua aʻo hope mākou e hoʻopau ka wai kai i nā mea hoʻopili i ka wā e hoʻopaʻa ai i ke kila me ka pōhaku.Ua pau ka moeʻuhane, e like me kā lākou e ʻōlelo nei, ua ʻoi aku paha ia, akā ua lawa ka uhi ʻana ma ʻaneʻi, a ua hoʻi maluhia ka moʻolelo i kona wahi no kāu loiloi.
