Stories & Poems About War
Sixty years of no tomorrows…
But yet today we share the sorrow.
A fine Marine, who’s name was Bill…
He lost his life that fateful day…
For freedom’s sake so far away…
His brother Frank has carried on…
He’s honored Bill so many ways…
And will until his final days…
I tip my “hat” to such a man…
We need more like him in this land.
The wind and waves still beat that shore…
Where brave men died to win that war.
And though it’s been some sixty years…
So on this day, remember Bill…
Who died for us …up on that “hill”.
This poem was written and dedicated to Pvt. William Niader
USMC, who was killed in action on Kunishi Ridge Okinawa, Japan
June 12th, 1945, while serving his beloved country. May his memory
forever live on, and his great sacrifice never forgotten!
