They all happened just in a day, All: birth, going forth, heyday, Wedding day, D-day, all in a day. They all happened just – in a day, For he wanted truth with no delay, Either it’d bring heyday or D-day — Sniffing at a one he started his day, The one that his daddy did slay, In a duel that happened on...

D DAY June 6 a repost remembered Lost in France, Resting 'neath a simple cross, Just name,nationality and rank; Giving of life,was his loss.

Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword, The beaches where the Allies, of...
