OMAHA Peaceful solitude, stoic patriots share. Pure white rows atop lush lawns of virgin green. Guards of Omaha at Colleville sur Mer Young souls bartered when feckless old minds convene. Wresting just liberty for lifetimes to be Brave hearts manned the boats for fate destined to share. Glory would leap from tales when all were set free. Six miles of Hell awaited those who would dare. Such calm from peace so horrifically won. Tranquil sands refined with purifying blood. These lifeless life stories laid low now as one Ne'er again to campaign through fields or a flood. Questions remain to concede all that was lost What truly was gained for a Star or a Cross? 05/15/2021

So good of you to pay these poor souls tribute. It's a crying shame all the lives lost for war.

Kudos Charlie for this tribute you wrote to the heroes of war. If not for them, the world would be much different today. I am glad to see your writing again. Hope all is well.
