Of The Week/In Remembrance

Hello. I hope that every one of you will participate in a Remembrance
Day ceremony somewhere near you. If not at least participate in two minutes of silence. So many lives were lost in the wars. My own grandfather fought in WW2. Fortunately he didn't die so I got to know him but he was very different. He had watched his best friend die beside him. Who will you remember?

Instead of a quote I am putting up a poem. "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.
       


And for a song, "The Last Post"

     

       


And here is another one "Highway of Heros" by The Trews
