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, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army

The Remembrance day service on Parliament hill was awesome, Dad and I watched on TV, me in tears, of course. It was wonderful to see the veterans so esteemed.
love you

Hi Vanessa, I would imagine that for Cory and his people (family) Rememberance Day is most special. As in the Canadians Liberation of Holland. So Glad you are taking time to Remember with your son. It is so important. You are a Blessing as a Mom & and a Wife Vanessa, doing a great job. Love, Margaret, Lady of the Manor.
