You don't have any problem with a country who refuses to help their former liberators? Their friendship floundered at a crucial time, but not so when they needed the USA's assistance...."In Flander's fields the poppies grow beneath the crosses row on row".

This is more appropriate...the other poem was from WWI: D-Day – Normandy by Michael DiRienzo, Brooklyn, NY, Battery A -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the morn of June 6th, the year 1944, Destination Normandy, D-Day of the war. The waters were still, the clouds were high, All was quiet, not a bomber in the sky. We jumped off our LST into waters knee deep, Worn out and tired, we had no sleep. Then all of a sudden, before we knew, All Hell broke loose with the morning dew. Shells and bombs all around, the enemy fixed and ready, All over, men moved forward, a little scared, but steady. The battle was rugged and one bloody mess, All the heroes that were made, I know you will never guess! Some of us were lucky, others were not, But those who have died will never be forgot. Everything was quiet now and silently we dug in, Darkness was upon us, another day will soon begin. Off into sleep, our minds were miles away, Thinking of home and what people will say. We have accomplished our mission, although not yet done, There's still a long way to go before the war is won. To all back home doing their share, Keep up the good work for the boys over here. A job is a job and it has to be done, We are doing ours, strikers do none! We don't ask for much from our folks in the USA, All our hearts desire is one letter a day. Back home is different, everything's in fashion, Over here it's just one thing and that's just K-ration. We know you all worry for your kin over here, So keep buying war bonds, so we'll soon be over there.
