I find myself plagued with somber today
Thoughts of a time full of dismay
A cold lonesome feeling runs deep in my bones
Silence in my heart, for those beneath the stones
Some are just crosses
With names still unknown
A father, brother, cousin a son
Whose life was well ended before it had begun
Some had a choice and others did not
As they coasted ashore they knew not the plot
For waiting just on the other side
Was a brutal force in which they would collide
On this beach the waters and sand
Ran red with the blood of the American man
They stood for our country, they stood and stood tall
And fell with their honor for each and for all
And on this day they leave behind their glory
June 6th 1944, never forget their story
Embrace their past, listen and learn come what may..
For their souls lay in silence in that land far away! _CB
