Normandy

I stand looking out to the sea 
 But in my mind Normandy is just a memory 
 Of an early morning that day in June 
 We said a prayer and faced our doom 
 So many were lost that day 
 Those memories will never fade away 
 From the water to the beach to the wall 
 Never stopping to help the comrades who did fall 
 They call us heroes for what we did 
 We weren’t heroes we were just kids 
We’re the lucky ones who are here to tell the story 
Of the true heroes who deserve the honor and glory 
And for all those who were lost that day 
 We’ll remember you always and in all our hearts you’ll stay 


Dedicated to the US Army Rangers 
 And my Uncle Staff Sergeant Michael Mazzullo  101 Airborne Rangers  5th 
Battalion Company C
