Please remember The Fallen on Memorial Day

Written by a Canadian officer during WWI, I always read "In Flanders Fields" at Memorial Day. To me, it best sums up the sentiments of The Fallen if they could speak to us now.

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.

Took my oldest boy to the cemetery this morning to help put flags up on all the veterans graves.

As we prepare for the long Memorial Day weekend that kicks off the start of the Summer season, take the time to reflect on those who paid the ultimate price to secure the Freedom we take for granted today. Although it is sad to think of what most of them would think about the current path we are being led down, we must never forget how they answered the call when their Country needed them. Hopefully we will all be strong enough to do the same.....

That is truly sad and I offer my condolences to you and all that have to live with this. R.I.P.
 
To the crews of USS SCORPION & USS THRESHER, may your ETERNAL PATROLS remain peaceful. Have a few cold ones at Davey Jone's Locker!!!
 
Thank you very much to all the veterans who sacrified to give their lives for my family and I to live free. As they say "land of the free because of the brave".
