Veterans' Day/Remembrance Day

[Snowwark]

Lest we forget...

In Flanders Fields

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.

~ John McCrae ~

Yes Kim, a day to remember those who fought so bravely. Also a sad day for me this would have been my brothers 47 birthday. The last two weeks I've tried to keep busy, but he's always on my mind.

Oh Mamu, (((((( Hugs ))))) for you dear Bud.

Belated but still heartfelt ((hugs)) from me too, Mamu.
