The weather was at last good on that day
as the countless military craft
headed for the designated landing beach
soldiers and sailors ready to fight
face the formidable enemy forces as one
their resolve had to be strong!
Socializing before the normality ended
many nations together in unity
differences put aside to defeat the foe
navy guns firing overhead
to wipe out the damaging gun positions
creating lethal conditions!
Onward without ceasing charged the brave
knowing they could not fail
into history to breach those enemy lines
at a terrible cost of comrades
planes dropping bombs noise and smoke
in their lungs made them choke!
Fighters back on their home soil side by side
many there for god and country
others dying to free their people from tyranny
civilians also slain on that day
as the allies spearheaded the bloody onslaught
each step desperately fought!
This being the first major step to Victory!

I don’t like to think about it, nor what they went through … guys and gals on both sides, I mean … you know what, even watching a simple soccer or hockey game makes me shiver … because it is mass hysteria all the same … great post though as always, Malc … Love, cat.
