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.

 

God bless America!
Thank you Boys!

Thank You to my Grandpa's....

 

God Bless all the Vets and especially those who have fallen, it's so sad that so many in our country show so little appreciation for the freedom they enjoy, and the tremendous sacrifices it took to get them. God Bless America!

I am eternally grateful to all who serve and who have served. The sacrifices made by veterans go far beyond the blood lost on the battlefield. Those who have never served, couldn't even begin to understand.

 

Thank you.

 

SALUTE!
