Putting a Face to the Sacrifice of our World War II Veterans.
TO THE PATRIOTS OF THE BEACHESBY
JOSHUAH CAMPBELL 2011 Normandy Scholar To the patriots of the beaches And the commanders of the canals; To the brigadiers of bridges And to the privates behind the hedgerow; To the nurses and medic, paratroopers and engineers, journalists and volunteers: No sullen piece of stone Nor cold lump of bronze On any sandy point, though picturesque, or in any village, however quaint, or on any glen, no matter how green the countryside, Can ever replace the memory; of your sacrifice. And with our heads and our banners held high, We, living monuments to your service, Proclaim to the world ; That you gave your all for liberty-- for a generation of Americans that you would never know-- And that you did not die in vain. |
The major assignment for the students and teachers who went to Normandy was the Fallen Soldier Project. Each student/teacher team researched a soldier from their home state who fought at Normandy and paid the ultimate sacrifice. After exhaustive research the students and teachers created a website dedicated to their soldier's life and ultimate sacrifice. Please logon to the websites and see what stellar work the students and teachers did and read the poignant eulogies to their soldiers that were read at the graves of their unsung heroes.
