Veterans Day

We will always remember.

We will always be proud.

We will always be prepared,

So we may always be free.

President Ronald Reagan

Omaha Beach,

Normandy, France

June 6, 1984

In Flanders the poppies blow

Between the crosses row on row,

That mark our place, and in the sky,

The Larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce hear 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 the 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.

Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army
