honoring our fathers, our veterans our future

They stormed the beaches
on that cold gray day,
they did not know what to do
nor what to say.

They ran straight ahead into enemy fire,
friends around them shot dead,
such scenario dire.

Yet fought they did,
for the freedoms they believe,
we are thankful for those who made it,
and for those who did not, we grieve.

For without these heroes,
we could not type these words,
stand for that which matters,
have our voices heard.
