Excellent link, Meg. I didn't know Encyclopedia Britannica has gone online and presumably is competing with wikipedia.org.

D-DAY~~6TH OF JUNE

~I Stand Here Now~

I stand here now
Amongst ... brave men
With whom ... I've stood before
The last time ... when we landed
On June 6th of '44
Back then ... we were all young men
Eighteen or little more
Their lives ... cut short ... that morning
On this distant ... windswept shore
I stand here now ... and wonder
What would they ... have become
Had they survived ... that morning
Their lives ... allowed full run
One thing ... I know ... for certain
Of which ... there is ... no doubt
These brave young men
My pals ... from then
Would be ... old
White haired ... with wrinkled brow
Just like me ...
As I stand here ... now.

~Tony Chapman~

Thank you for sharing this wonderful graphic and your poem, “In Memory of Steve, Alton and Jack” with Amy’s Place.

Condolences on your loss of two cousins and a son. Your poem in a great memorial to them.

Thank you again for your contributions.

Thanks, Dita.

I left the broadcast on while I was on the computer this morning. I’m glad that you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Meg, I was on the Brittanica website looking for goldfinches and guess what they had them in black and white.....no color whatsoever. I was flabbergasted!

My two bathing beauty granddaughters are up at the pool swimming! They both are so busy they don’t have a lot of extra time to play!
