I can hear the turnover of the history, I can hear crackling of machine guns, I can hear barking of mortars, I can hear the resentment of men and the whistling of bombs, I can hear emotions of the peoples, I can hear the hatred of artillery, I can hear courage of Youth, I can hear confusion of hearts. I can hear shouts on the beach, I can hear fear in glances, I can hear thoughts of infantrymen, I can hear dreams of generals, I can hear swarms of soldiers getting up, crawling, hiding, jumping falling, shouting, staggering, muttering, hoping, praying, succumbing, rebelling, I can hear lightings of flamethrowers, I can hear everything by walking on the beach of Omaha, everything except the sound of the sea which share the steps of my parents, born before 1944. |

Yann, This is a very good remembrance of D-Day. Being an old coot, with a good memory, I remember a lot from WW II. “D” Day is the day civilization was saved. How soon people forget. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (06-06-2009 06:39 PM).] |
