Lest We Forget: Remembrance Day and Veterans Day
Posted by Dragonheart under In Memoriam
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.
In Flanders Fields, by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

It’s a beautiful poem, Dragonheart. One of Kate’s favourites. she actually got to attend the big Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial in Canberra a few years ago, she said it was very moving. It’s very important to remember those who gave up their lives for their countries.
