D-Day, June 6th 1944

The sand goes up
The men came down
Some to the beach
Others dropped on a town

We lost so many
On that day long ago
They tell me the stories
For only they know

They are the heroes
For the fights they lost and won
Sometimes even
To save just one

So many friends and family
Died on that land
Today we remember
Those who took a stand

I wish I could thank
Each and every one
With a handshake and smile
For all they have done

Without those brave souls
Our lives would be different
For they took a stand
Where others wouldn't

We owe our freedoms
To those who fought long ago
For on them this honor
Of a hero I bestow
