Lest We Forget

 

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.

- Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

Take some time today to thank a Veteran and any current service members you may know, Remembrance Day is a time to remember those who fought for your freedom.  

I know I will be thanking my Father, my Husband, and my Father-in-Law today, and countless friends and family.

Lest we forget.
