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 your quarrel with the foe, To you with 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 Macrae (1872 - 1918) |
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Let us join our hearts and honor the MEN AND WOMEN
who gave their lives that we might live free ! There were many battles throughout history
that limited the population. Let us remember:
We are granted life for today because many gave their lives.
Many family lines ended on a battlefield.
Live each day as a tribute to the gift of life.
~~~Today is a gift given to you by another brave soul~~~
