November 11th is REMEMBERANCE DAY and it is a time to remember the BRAVE Men & Women who stood up for our country in her time of need - so that today we can enjoy the freedom that so many of us take for granted.
I urge you to wear a poppy and then take a moment to give silent thanks to all the courageous CANADIANS who fought for our Country's FREEDOM.
MERCI GRANDPAPA & THANKS YOU OPA
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
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.
John McCrae
