The butterflies only had mere minutes to settle, which never really did, in the stomachs of the fresh young men, recently boarded on the English shores. In a single moment the metal gates they stared at for the last few hours of their lives dropped and immediately MG42’s tore through the bodies of those first brave men who intended to lead the charge. Those who survived the initial German onslaught of 25 rounds per second by crawling over 6 feet of steel to the side or a few feet of slumped over flesh to the front, met adversity of the highest magnitude that mankind has ever been faced with. Of those brave men who offered to give their lives, only boys by technicality, some survived and went on to free an entire continent by the sheer power of tenacity, resolve and everything that makes a hero. Whenever someone wonders what this country means to people at home or abroad, let them look to the graves of the willing fallen on the distant shores of France who died for freedom for freedom’s sake. History required their sacrifice so let their sacrifice forever live in history.
