I stand as one.

One soul amongst thousands.

Diamond mist shines on the khaki sea of men.

Wind stings my skin,

Blending sea salt with the tears you shed as I left.

The waves hit our boat hard,

As hard as the lead thump of my call up papers landing on the mat.

Gun and shell fire roll around the clouds.

The full moon veiled by the smoke filled air.

Parched lips in fear of washing away our departing kiss.

We Surge !!!!

We Surge as one through the swell,

Through the swell of bodies, where sea meets land.

Onto the blood red sand of Normandy.

Red mist shines on the khaki sea of men.

Bullets sting my skin.

I fall !!!!!!

I fall !!!! ...... One soul amongst thousands.

A soldier for just , ...one day......
