PRECIOUS MEMORIES
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Thank a Veteran today!
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 falling hand we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, through poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Author – Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae
Thanks be to God for all the men and women who have served our state and nation in this cause for freedom.
