A Tribute Poem to the Heroes of D-Day

June 6, 2024

On this solemn day, we remember and honor the brave souls who left their families and the safety of home to fight for freedom. They said farewell to their loved ones, knowing there was a chance they might never return or see their families again. Their mission was clear: to stop the horrors of the Nazi regime and their Axis allies. If they failed, the world would have lived under the thumb of oppression forever.

These courageous individuals stormed the beaches, wave after wave, despite the overwhelming fear that consumed them. They had no choice; failure would have cost humanity its future. They never stopped, they never failed, and ultimately, they prevailed. Their sacrifice ensured the freedoms we enjoy today.

As we reflect on their heroism, let us remember to cherish and protect the freedom provided on the backs of these brave souls. It is a gift too precious to be taken for granted. The cost of freedom is immense, and we must honor their memory by upholding the values they fought to defend.

Lest we forget.
