Also included is a link that includes a bit of history about John McCrae and how he came to write the poem. http://history.cbc.ca/history/?MIval=EpisContent.html&lang=E&series_id=1&episode_id=12&chapter_id=1&page_id=7 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.

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! Joyce Salazar
