This Day in 1944

This day in 1944
Became the day of D
French beaches were invaded
To make hostage Europe free
Young men that day would battle
Many would give their all
Someone had to do it
To make the Third Reich fall
War is not a pretty sight
With blood and awful gore
Much of it occurred that day
In the channel and on the shore
There would be no stopping
Until the allies overcame
We remember them and what they gave
Each grave it has a name
I write this to remember them
Give tribute to them all
Who gave their lives for freedom
Answered their country's call
Honor also those that still are here
On that beach their dues did pay
To live 'til now their destiny
Getting fewer every day
