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
