We just finished our Remembrance Day service here at work and I thought I would post this well known poem. Also included is a link that includes a bit of history about John McCrae and how he came to write the poem.

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.

Thanks for posting this Melissa.
Also, a very special Thanks to all our veterans across America, and those of you stationed abroad. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do.
Words can not express just how special you are, but from the bottom of my heart, you are deeply appreciated!
God Bless you all!

And let's GO if we possibly can. There are ceremonies and remembrances all over if you pick up today's paper. :-) Or we can visit a V.A. hospital.
