D-Day raised the curtain on the conflict <br />That fore shadowed the end of Hitler's dream. <br />The largest joint combat landing ever, <br />Though the blood from both sides flowed like a stream. <br /> <br />When their boats hit the sand, their ramps went down, <br />And all within paid a visit to hell. <br />They jumped out to do good for their country, <br />And to kill the enemy without fail. <br /> <br />They fought the Germans, tides, winds and the waves, <br />In conditions not easily foreseen. <br />By night the battle was in our favor, <br />With bravery, valor, death, and men who scream. <br /> <br />The corpses littered the beach for five miles, <br />Though heroism had carried the day, <br />With literally thousands dead or wounded, <br />Those who were left were determined to stay. <br /> <br />They faced great odds and chose not to protest, <br />And won the war that put evil to shame. <br />Most came home, married and raised their babies, <br />But those who could not we recall with pain. <br /> <br />By Conservative Poet <br />Tom Zart <br />Most Published Poet <br />On The Web <br /> <br />The White House <br />Washington <br />March 16,2007 <br />Ms. Lillian Cauldwell <br />President and Chief Executive Officer <br />Passionate Internet Voices Radio <br />Ann Arbor Michigan <br /> <br />Dear Lillian: <br /> <br />Number 41 passed on the CDs from Tom Zart.
