75 years today since D Day we will remember them

Some came by air Some came by sea They fought and died So we could be free The 6th of June 1944 Normandy a place in France Operation Overlord or Neptune Thousands took their last stance Parachutists and gliders and boats of all size Thousands of soldiers met their demise 156,115 allied soldiers took part this way 75 years ago on D DAY The beaches to name a few were called Omaha, Utah, Juno and Sword The largest allied beach invasion to date So many died because of fate 10,500 allied casualties in one day Fought for our freedom all I can say Respect, hats of sir where it's due I and others will remember you REMEMBER RESPECT

My heart in my chest beats heavy... freedom is not free. This is an excellent poem. It should be shared and shared and shared, and then taught in school. Along with the pledge and opening doors for old people. Love your write my friend. Hugs. Ann

Gordan, Heartfelt remembrance of D day and all of the soldiers/sailors/airmen, a well deserved commemoration. All the beaches in Normandy remain free to this day because of their sacrifice. -Richard
