The Remembrance Day Poppy & In Flanders Fields Poem

The poppy is the recognized symbol of remembrance for war dead in Canada, the countries of the British Commonwealth, and the United States. The flower owes its significance to the poem In Flanders Fields, written by Major (later Lieutenant-Colonel) John McCrae, a doctor with the Canadian Army Medical Corps, in the midst of the Second Battle of Ypres, in Belgium, in May 1915.

The poppy references in the first and last stanzas of the most widely read and oft-quoted poem of the war contributed to the flower's status as an emblem of remembrance and a symbol of new growth amidst the devastation of war.

In Flanders Fields

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.

They may be gone but they are not forgotten. I thank all who served and those who are still serving for the sacrifices made to make my way of life possible.

G-pa M and G-pa B, you are sorely missed...

 

Thanks to all those who still serve.. God Bless/....

 

That picture must be about 100 years old, right?

Here's a fresh one of me on my last tour..."winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people"


Seriously, thanks to all veterans past and future...Happy Veterans Day!

 

Happy Veteran's Day to all that served prior to me and those who are still serving with me.

 

Happy Veterns day!

 

A HUGE THANK YOU!!! to all our brave Men and Women in uniform.
God Bless all of you!!

 

Our Freedom is not free. It costs blood ,sweat and tears, even death. For those that still serve today and all that have served in the past, there are no words to discribe what you and your family's have lost in the name of Freedom.
Everyone one should set aside a place everyday to honor those men and women who have so unselfishly given their all to our country.

God Bless America

 

We sang that in chorus one year, and I believe it was for Veteran's day. Really nice song/poem.

 

So Proud to be an American
