Normandy


Last year my brother and I took a four hour tour along the Normandy coast where the D-Day operations and battles took place; it was awesome; amazingly moving; for the most part you are just speechless as you learn at such close-hand of the intricate planning involved, of the bravery, and of the horrors that took place along that beautiful coast.

  1. let these crosses speak
    let these and the grey stone of the others speak
    let the bloodied bodies speak
    let the screams speak
    let the fear-filled speak
    let the terrified speak
    let the lonely speak
    let the furious speak
    let the explosive speak
    let the blood speak
    let the broken bones speak
    let the bullets speak
    let the uniforms the helmets speak
    let the worn-out boots speak
    let the those who were there speak
    to us
