Remember..

today is Rememberance Day. the day we remember those soldiers who bravely fought for us.

John McCrae, a 43yr old member of the Canadian Medical Corps from Guelph, Ontario, wrote the famous poem "In Flanders Field" while he was in Ypres, Belgium. Sadly he passed at Wimereux near Boulogne, France in 1918 at the age of 44.

In Flanders Field

In Flanders Field 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.

~John McCrae

Thank you soldiers for you have fought for us. Let's all remember them and honour them!
