Many memories .......................have gone through my mind during this past week because we have had a Spitfire passing overhead three times.
It brings back memories of D-Day when there seemed to be a hush over the town I lived in. No servicemen were to be seen in any of the pubs the for at least three days before D-Day and the town seemed dead without them.
We all knew something was about to happen but it wasn't till June 6th 1944 the full impact hit us all.
How well I remember Deliverance Day in 1944
This was the beginning of the end of our six year war.
Many nations took part in this exceptional historic day
To help bring back justice and take tyranny away.
I watched with bated breath as our planes filled the sky
Many would be wounded and many would also die.
What a lot we owe to all who took part in that historical day
They gave us back our freedom and banished evil away.
We should never forget those who fought for us to survive
Just Thank God they gave you freedom and you are still alive.
I wrote this poem as a tribute to all the thousands of men who took part in this most historical day that ever went into history books.
I had the privilege of seeing the awesome sight of all the hundreds of planes heading for their destination.
The emotional roller coaster that was felt by everyone watching was something that no one could ever put into words.
I was and am extremely proud of all of them who took part, no matter whether it was by land, sea or air.
God Bless Them All.
