    WOW, Reg. I don't know where you got that but THANK YOU for posting it. One day my dear dad will slip into 'sleep' (he's now almost 88 years old...and of course I know the rapture could still happen before he dies) and when/if that day comes the country will lose one more WWII soldier that fought the Nazi's in France back in 1946.

    Excellent poem - if you have the source please do post that as this is something we do require. If "Author Unknown" is the official title then please put that here.

      Reg et al,
      I'm sorry to do this but I'm removing the majority of the poem. I've been given a link that shows it was written by an individual and is also protected with a copyright statement. We have a long-standing policy about this so...I'll put the link to where it's posted.

          Sorry, yes - his boots hit the shores of Normandy on June 13, 1944 where he was shot in the leg. It's also where he found our Savior.
