For Memorial Day. It will ALWAYS stand for those who have gone before and gave their all. Have a great holiday, during which, take a moment to remember and reflect.
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
John McCrae [1872-1918]
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 blow
In Flanders fields.
Semper Fidelis!
