Hello friends of this forum, Next Friday is for many countries in the world Armistice Day, Remembrance Day or Veterans Day. Most of the countries remember the fallen from the Great War till now. Take a moment to stand still for the fallen. Here a famous poem to think about by John McCrae written in 1915, 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, 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. Termites do it in the dark! (47FS Barksdale afb) |
