D-Day poem

in memory of my ancestors who were in WW2

Come and stand in memory
of men who fought and died
they gave their lives at D-Day
remember them with pride

Soldiers, pilots, sailors
airbornes and marines
who in normal life were tailors
and men who worked machines

The battle raged in Normandy,
many lives were lost,
the war must end in victory,
and this must be the cost.

To Juno,Sword and Omaha,
beaches of renowned
 Utah,Gold and Normandy
that's Where the ramps went down

Tigers fought the Shermans
and they waged lots of war
Jagdpanthers and Churchills
and M5 stuarts miniature.

What now have we learned of this
this silly war thing
death,destruction,carnage
that's all that war will bring
