In Flanders Fields Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD, Canadian Army (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 grow In Flanders fields.

A great poem. To this, I would add
Tissues out, it's a tear-jerker.
"They might look the same, but they don't taste the same."
Happy Veterans Day to all who have served and/or still serving.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

This a link to video done by local entertainers in company with the Royal Nfld Regiment for this Armistice Day. Best to watch full screen so the black and white footage is more clear and the writing is more legible. God bless all who served and still serve.
