This part of the D-day poem needs spell-checking:
Frogmen,
in small boats,
approach the shore,
the
y swim in,
silently, to take out,
the beach obstacles,
so the landing craft,
won
't sink or explode on the way in,
weeks earlier,
they had been here,
silently,
testing the beaches,
taking samples,
to determine if tanks
could land, and not sink,
into the sands.
Nicely written. Movies dwell on the fear men had in their guts. But the professional soldier is focused on his mission. And that involves technical details, as you presented.
