This Day, Greatest Losses, Blood Soaked Sands Day to remember, honor for its gain loss reminds us never, never again. Neptune shook the sea, watched cannons fire sandy beach blown apart, war's raging ire. Courage, grit, sand, water, death and red-blood ahead lay bloody roads and blood soaked mud. D- Day, sacrifices where took heavy tolls soldiers knew and thought that is how it rolls. Beach, water and death with dark blood soaked sand courage embraced to take back all that land. On and on they came, rushing, dying waves war had its feast, that feast it always craves. Great loss, but victory is rarely free they died to save all, all and you and me! Robert J. Lindley, June 6th Sonnet, dedicated to heroes that fought and that died on D-Day.
