As remembrance day approaches us here in Canada, I'd like to share the well known poem, "Flanders Fields" written by Major John McCrae, in May 1915. If you're not familiar with Remembrance day, click here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day) or here (http://homepages.tesco.net/~derek.berger/holidays/remembrance.html) to learn more.

What a sweet holiday! :) We really need to celebrate something like this in the U.S :)

That poem is very sad but it has a very good message......... :)
