DrNo~SPARTA~ Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Today is Remembrance Day. You may call it Veterans Day, or Memorial Day or whatever one's country acknowledges it as. Again, I just want to personally thank each and every one of you who served for your country. You don?t get enough credit for what you do and certainly do not get enough thanks. Last year I posted a poem written by a Canadian solder in world war I. I believe it fitting to post again as we remember all those who sacrificed their existence on earth forever, so the rest of us can go about our lives to Wall Mart or Starbucks or take our kids to the zoo and go see a movie. In Flanders Fields by John McCrae, May 1915 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.

Samurai~SPARTA~ Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
