LEST WE FORGET
  Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.
 We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.
 And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.

post a commentBeautifully done, my friend!
Since I couldn't do better, you'll find you've been reposted at Security Garden, Freedomlist and LandzDown.
maybe someday there will be no more wars and we can reflect on the waste of life that they do?
but today i will remember my friends who never had a full life and consider myself lucky
Thank you so much Corrine, and Mitch my friend, I too "will remember your friends who never had a full life", while thanking you and your comrades who have served with pride, honesty and honour.
Despite anyone's thoughts of the current conflict in Iraq - opposition or agreement, we must always remember that these brave young men and women are fighting for a cause they also may or may not agree with. The huge difference between them and us is that they are putting their lives on the line 24/7 while we sit in our homes in comfort, using the freedom of speech previous warriors won for us, and for that they deserve our love, respect, and support.
Corrine wipes the tears from her eyes and adds that quote to her blog entry to preserve it.
As you look down on us from your heavenly perch, Canuk, know that your words live on, both in my heart and on the 'net.
Missing you.
