Burns Night Black Tie Dinner and Dance
Come and stand in memory Of men who fought and died They gave their lives in Normandy Remember them with pride. Soldiers, Airman, sailors Airborne and marines Who in civvy life were tailors and men who worked machines. British and Canadian And men from USA Forces from the Commonwealth They all were there that day. To Juno, Sword and Utah Beaches of renown Also Gold and Omaha That’s where the ramps went down. The battle raged in Normandy Many lives were lost The war must end in victory And this must be the cost. When my life is over And I reach the other side I’ll meet my friends from Normandy And shake their hands with pride.
- Cyril Crain, Normandy

"Look at the epic of your life, at the people in it, all heroic. And to think it began with an accident. Somebody looked up at the night sky and saw a star, Somebody in Cracow or Belgrade, maybe, or the city where you live now. Carbon, nitrogen … there was an explosion, and now you have to pay attention to everything." David Kirby, from “I Have Not Come Here to Compare Notes But to Sit Together in the Stillness at the Edge of This Wound” (via oofpoetry)
