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. http://www.greatwar.co.uk/poems/john-mccrae-in-flanders-fields.htm
Remember To all those who have gone before To all the people who have gone to war To the men and women who faced death To those who will never draw breath To the mothers and fathers whose children gave all To the husbands and wives whose mate answered the call To the children who faced life on their own To everyone who talks to a name on a stone No medal or ribbon can repay all that we owe The parade and applause are not enough and we know How do you thank someone for everything you have and everything you are Without you never could we have accomplished so much or come so far I want to say thank you But no words are enough for what you went through There is one promise that I can give One oath that I shall never break for as long as I live I will remember that we owe all to you A person, a people that I never even knew I will remember Chief R. Stacey Laforme
