Who could read Ernie Pyle’s
“Stroll Ojj Beach” in last Sat
urday’s papers, without a tear—
without a stab in the heart—
without asking one’s self am I
doing all I can to help. They gave
their all. Our boys, Americans,
floating there in the water’s edge
of the sandy beaches of Normandy.
While little jellyfish played around,
wondering what’s new. Some were
lying on the sandy shores asleep
forever. Are we growing hard
and indifferent to the war. Are
we country, small town, and city
folk growing all the food we can
in Victory Gardens. Are we
ing all the Bonds and Stampsl^W
can? Are we doing all the things
Uncle Sam wanted us to do. Are
we grumbling about gas, food,
and shoe rationing—such little
things—mere trifles. Are we go
ing on about life as usual, seek
ing pleasure and entertainment,
forgetting that they, too, would
like to be back in America living
life as usual—but they can never
return. There on the sandy beaches
of Normandy they will keep
watch until the Dawn.
