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 to all who serve and have served our countries. My great uncle Raymond was killed in a Japanese POW camp even though the war had just ended. He was 25 years old.
We bought the flag and metal poppies this year from the Legion, all proceeds go to the veterans fund, they are beautifully made.
