Veterans Day (Armistice Day for really old folks)

[scottieb]

As a veteran I believe it's important to acknowledge and support the veterans around us. Today is a day set aside for just that.

Here's a powerful song to listen to on this day. I cannot recommend this song enough.

In Flanders Fields


BY JOHN MCCRAE

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.

Thank you too all our veterans. Thank you so much.

Rest In Peace to the union soilders who died and who's sacrifice is largely forgotten these days.
