Blow me away

They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady your helm
(I am losing sight again)

Fire your guns
It's time to run
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way

Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all

There's nothing left
So save your breath
Lying in wait
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown
No where to go
Holding your fate
(Loaded I will walk alone)

Fire your guns
It's time to run
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way

Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all
Wanted it back(Don't fight me now)

Remembering D-day

65 years ago thousands of men, many of whom were younger than I am now, set out on the largest invasion ever attempted in human history. It was an enormous gamble and hundreds lost their lives.

The gamble paid off.

But before we can remember the events of D-Day, it's important to remember the events that took place before hand. To remember the Dieppe raid. If not for the lessons learned by that ill-fated raid, the Normandy invasion may not have succeeded the way it did. Many men, most of which were Canadian, lost their lives in Dieppe.

Today, all over the globe, we celebrate the beginning of the end of the second world war. If not for the foothold these brave men made on the France coast the war would have surely continued for many more years, possibly with Nazi victory.

Never forget the cost for our freedom that we so often take for granted. Remember the lives lost, then and now.
