In honor of Veteran's Day today here's the Flanders Field poem

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.

— Lt.-Col. John McCrae

Happy Veteran's Day to all who served and who are still serving in the military. My mom, my aunt and my dad were all in the military, it's just a shame that none of them could get the day off. Oh, but many schools have the day off.....ugh, sorry, but that just makes no sense....anyway....
