Joe Rosochacki - Day After D-day

Yes it is history
Tell that to the surviving members of his or her family
I remember only
Uncle Eddie and Cleburn(e) Mize 'Blondie'
They survived the assault on the European continent
They cracked open Nazism's door
Back on June 6th,1944
But we hear not of these heroes
But instead we hear about Casey Anthony,
Congressman Weiner's weiner
So not word is mentioned about these 18,19, and 20 year old guys
(Save Saving Private Ryan and A Band of Brothers)
hitting the beach at Normandy.
So let them not be forgotten?
We will go through Caseys and Weiners
Who knows what's on the slate for JUNE 6,2012
More dead soldiers,
Where have the flowers gone? *
They've gone to Willie McBride's**
