Come and stand in memory
Of men who fought and died
They gave their lives in Normandy
Remember them with pride.
Soldiers, Airman, sailors
Airborne and marines
Who in civvy life were tailors
and men who worked machines.
British and Canadian
And men from USA
Forces from the Commonwealth
They all were there that day
To Juno, Sword and Utah
Beaches of renown
Also Gold and Omaha
That’s where the ramps went down.
The battle raged in Normandy
Many lives were lost
The war must end in victory
And this must be the cost
When my life is over
And I reach the other side
I’ll meet my friends from Normandy
And shake their hands with pride.
We can never say thank you enough for your service and your sacrifices you made.
For saving the world and our way of life from an evil tyrant and madman.
Some gave the ultimate sacrifice, some lost brothers in arms,
But they all put their courage on the line
and today we celebrate all of those who are part of the Greatest Generation!
Thank you,
The Witches Chronicles
