I love this, it’s so important we never forget. My grandad was on the first wave of the D-Day Landings, he said it was the only time in his life he was afraid. Fortunately he made it but so many didn’t. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for the piece, good to have reminders of such events.

Thank you for sharing this! This was such an important event in history and we shouldn’t ever forget why it was needed.

Sobering thoughts for a sunny morning.

D Day 65 is big over here this weekend, specially in my home county of Kent.

In memory of Uncles Elton and Chet, brothers who survived landing on Omaha beach. Thanks for the reminder.

My brother-in-law landed there. He still carries shrapnel in his leg.

Great tribute to anonymous heroes.

Thank you for the tribute to the heroes of WWII. they were and are a great generation.

thank you!

Thanks this was a good reminder.

So simple. Well, what can I do? Pen is in your hands.

You are, without any doubt, one of my favorite writers. This poem says it in a nutshell. I’d like you to know that you are in some way instrumental in getting me inspired. There are many World War II poems. This one encompasses in a few words, the fact that what took place in Normandy, during World War II, was a great sacrifice with a happy ending. Thanks again for your friendship.
