At the recent meeting with the German chancellor, dumb Donny Trump didn't know what D-Day was and is. Perhaps someone will inform him about history outside the USA, especially if the USA once played a decisive role in the victory over Nazi Germany.

One day past eighty years, the beaches breathe
The grit of those who stormed the world awake.
Steel met the tide; beneath the cliff and heath
They carved through fear, and not for glory’s sake.

The sky was split by guns that were not tamed,
The tide ran dark where soldiers met the shore.
Through wire and blast, through wreckage scorched and maimed,
They moved as one, and asked for nothing more.

No oath was sworn but what their hearts had known,
A vow unspoken, buried in their stride.
They marched through death to break a tyrant’s throne,
And left their youth along the rising tide.

Though time moves on and memory may thin,
The world they freed still bears their fire within.
