~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:Many men came here as soldiers

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:Many men will pass the way

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:Many men will count the hours

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:As they live the longest day

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:Many men are tired and weary

:In the longest day in history

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
