Remembrance Day

They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them
...Laurence Binyon

The 11th hour,

of the 11th day,

of the 11th month

is a special time for us to remember all those men and women who were killed during the 2 world wars and all other conflicts.

From the United Kingdom

and all its allies

IN FLANDERS FIELDS.

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 with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

~~By Major John McCrae, May 1915.~~
