[h=1]In Flanders Fields[/h]
by John McCrae, May 1915
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.
The foe we must fight is war itself.
Only when we make peace do we truly keep faith with the fallen.
Lest we forget.

What a great picture, Pappy, warms my heart, and there can't be enough blessings heaped on them...and to the families who sacrifice, worry themselves crazy while they're away, and hold/held the fort down. I am forever grateful. We are here because of these men/women and I am sloppy sentimental over pix like this and all the others posted in this thread. I have never looked at them and be able to hold back tears.
