Memorial Day

[Capt Rich Geminski]

Thanks to all the vets, past and present... Thank a Vet this weekend... God Bless the USA...

 

[Terry Desilets]

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.​

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

​

Let's remember those who have given their lives in the service of their country this weekend. (I'll thank the Vets on Veterans Day, they'll understand.)

May God bless America's finest that made the ultimate sacrifice. They are truly heroes and, paid for the freedoms we enjoy. Blessings to their families as well for the sacrifices they made and, the hardships they endured...
