Lest We Forget

[evank15]

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.

Lest we forget those men who gave their tomorrows for our todays. RIP and thank you.

Passchendaele, Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Dieppe.

We were the [censored] German nightmare.

Call down in peace, gentlemen.

Dan, I don't think you have to worry about a star.

OP, if it wasn't for this thread I don't even think I would have known what today was.
