Samadhi Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved, and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)Let us pray for peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabbiO Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Remembering this nation's veterans today, a little more than usual. Thank you all for your service and God grant us peace in our time.To paraphrase Christian scripture (hey, I know a good line when I see it), to you my multi-colored friend and all who have served in places near and far, during peace and during conflict - Well done you good and faithful servants.
