Remebrance Day - Lets Not Forget In Flanders Field

Today is the day to remember our fallen and our soldiers who are still out there fighting for, not only our freedom, but peace for the whole world.  Let's not forget ever, everyday should have one thought for each and every one of them.

In Flanders Fields
By:  Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD  (1872-1918)
Canadian  Army
 
In Flanders  Fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses row on  row,
That mark our place; and in the  sky 
The larks, still bravely singing,  fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
 
We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw  sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we  lie
In Flanders fields.
 
Take up  our  quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands  we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it  high. 
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
