As a way of saying thanks to veterans, Transit Windsor is offering a ride on them.

Veterans and cadets in full uniform can ride the bus free today.

Veterans can also apply for a lifetime Transit Windsor bus pass. The program is open to all Canadian and Allied Veterans who participated in active service during World War II, the Korean or Vietnam Wars and live in the City of Windsor. It's offered as an acknowledgment for their sacrifice and commitment to the community and the country.

On Tuesday, June 6, 1944, the largest seaborne invasion in history took place on the shores of Normandy, France. Figures for the number of dead wounded and missing vary, but the invasion was key to defeating Nazi Germany in World War II.
