Sorry, wish I could have written better but was a very hard struggle to write today..
However I felt that I must--to honor those that gave us our lives, our futures our freedoms.
D-Day should never be forgotten and should be honored as it was the day the world saw justice triumph!!!
Britain should see this this and start to act this way again ...
Honor and Courage--against the new darkest menace..-Tyr


This Day, Greatest Losses, Blood Soaked Sands

Day to remember, honor for its gain
loss reminds us never, never again
Neptune shook the sea, watched cannons fire
sandy beach blown apart, war in its ire.
Courage, grit, sand, water death and red-blood
ahead lay bloody roads and blood soaked mud
D- Day, sacrifices were took heavy tolls
soldiers knew and thought that is how it rolls
Beach, water and death with dark blood soaked sand
courage embraced to take back all this land
On and on they came the in dying waves
war had its feast, that feast it always craves
Great loss, but victory is rarely free
they died to save all, all and you and me!

Robert J. Lindley, June 6th
Sonnet, dedicated to heroes that fought and that died on D-Day.
