Title: Remeberance Day / Veterans Day
Post by catlind on Nov 11^th, 2002, 8:09am

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month

Rememberance Day in Canada and in some European countries.
Veterans Day in the US

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 sill bravely
sindging fly, scarce heard amongst
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 MD, Lt. Col. Canadian Army

Never Forget

And I know that every Canadian stood and gave a moment of silence at 11 a.m. and listened to taps either on the radio or on TV.

We must not EVER forget, from any country, any service, those who have served and those who have died to give us freedom liberty and justice.

It is so easy to forget the sacrifices made by the men and women of the Armed Forces. Please do not forget, especially today. Thank you for that, Cat.
