“White Crosses and Steel Rain” is a powerful spoken-word tribute written and performed by David Burnell, veteran, rescue operator, and founder of Echo Valor. Set against a cinematic backdrop, this ballad recounts his pilgrimages to sacred grounds of war: the fields of Flanders, the graveyards of Arnhem, and the storm-swept beaches of Normandy.

From the grave of an unnamed Polish paratrooper to the endless rows of white crosses above Red Beach, David weaves memory, reverence, and raw emotion into a reflection on sacrifice few have the words—or experience—to express.
