Veterans’ Day

Thank you to all US Veterans who have served.  You have my deepest gratitude.

And in Remembrance on Armistice Day…

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month….

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

  1. A fine tribute. We cannot thank them enough.

  2. Greater love hath no man than this ; that a man lay down his life for his friends.
