The following poem was written by a former graduate of Windsor Locks High School, Mary Wheeler Edgerton. It is presented here in honor of all those boys and girls from this school who are in the service of our country, and especially those who have made the supreme sacrifice. ARMADA (D Day June 6, 1944) It was in the eerie hours, It was on the sixth of June That the mightiest armada sailed beneath A ghostly moon . . . Men of all the Allied Nations, Men of every race and creed Were holding tryst with Freedom In his country’s hour of need. Not a man but knew reunion with the land From whence he’d gone, Not a heart but held a silent prayer The hour before the dawn— Now they crept across the Channel As the planes flew overhead, The greatest force in history Upon that sea was spread— Every man was poised and waiting, Every one would have his chance When the enemy came roaring from The blackened shores of France— Up above the tracer-bullets drew a flame across the sky, There was light to see men fighting, There was light to see men die— The moments stretched and each became A small Eternity! The guns boomed out in answer while the bombs Fell into the sea— In the distance lay the beachheads, Sun-bleached sands and lapping waves, And they saw the foam-formed headstones That would mark their very graves— But there could be no returning, Just off shore the barges lay, And the live men from the shoreline Saw the dead men float away— All along the littered beaches There was none who paused for tears, In their hearts they carried with them All their needs for souvenirs— They were part of present glory, They were living h-i-s-t-o-r-y! The mightiest Armada That had ever sailed the sea. Page
