Armistice Day is here, or known in Canada as Remembrance Day, or Veteran's Day in the US. Armistice Day marks the end of the first World War. Unfortunately not many veterans are with us anymore from that great battle, and the focus is turning on to those that served during other conflicts that followed the "war to end all wars". I just want to thank those that served, those that made the ultimate sacrifice, and those that are still currently serving overseas.
Thank you!
Lest we forget.

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.

That mark our place; and in the sky

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.
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.
