There,you stood proudly tall,
Waiting to answer your country's call.
To have fought this far and make it through,
A country's freedom is calling you.
Soon,you'll touch their sands,but not without bloodflow,
As many a veteran would know.
That the invaders would fight back too,
Admist the cries of the occupied for the freedom long overdue.
Without you,nothing would ever be the same today,
If not for your sacrifice on the beaches miles away.
Ahhh, I understand x3
A famous Spanish photographer was there that day,his name was Robert Capa,he took many photos that day and he survived somehow.
My friend, did you saw the moon a couple of days ago? the super moon or something, they called it... it seems it wasn't as big as they made people think it was going to be.. but I enjoyed staring at it for a long time :P
Sorry,I did not get out of my shell for the past few days,so I missed the chance,so I think I can wait for the next one.Anyway,about your new job,that sounds like wonderful news!(now,I can finally sleep.)I hope that you'll enjoy it and that it won't be too tough on you.I did not even touch a skateboard or surfboard before.
Well,I am glad that you're fine(I thought that you had left Newgrounds for good,I should have just waited,sorry.)
Don't worry, I don't think I will leave this site, I usually don't login for some weeks and then come back, but it all depends. Somehow, when I get back to classes I won't be able to be here much since I won't have more holidays until next year xD my faculty is on a strike already for a month and we are really behind the year plannification schedule
I also hope that you will not leave Newgrounds too because it would not be the same without you here but I understand that you have a lot to do,so take care and thanks for all the replies and awesome comments you wrote.Also,good luck and be happy in everything you do.
It's always nice to see homage paid to brave fighters and veterans, all too often they go underappreciated and even disrespected.
There's an album I'd like to recommend called The End Is Not The End, by House of Heroes. A lot of the songs take some inspiration from WWII, generally with some kind of imagined story behind them.

Thanks,I felt I needed to show my appreciation for the sacrifices made by one of the greatest generations and so I decided to write a little something.
And thanks for sharing,I’ll be sure to check it out!

Ah,that is true but the beaches I meant in this poem is actually in Normandy,6th June was the Allied Landings over there(you might know about this.)It was a terrible day,so I thought I wrote a little something to remember it.
