Rupert

Rupert…did you see
the brave men of D-Day
as the fought their way ashore
and into history forever more?

Rupert…you had a grand view;
There were heroes in the air with you
and many more below on the ground
each trying to dodge a German round

Rupert…Did you see them fall
as they answered freedom’s call
You are silent...continuing to stare
Is that a tear in your eye seen there

Rupert…Rupert...?

D- Day Paradummy 'Rupert'

Para-dummies were dropped as decoys during military operations during WW II.

"Rupert" was one actually used by the British on D-Day.
