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.
- John McCrae
As we celebrate and remember our Veterans today. I want to say a special thank you to my Grandfather. Who fought for our country in WWII. You are an inspiration to our family, your strength, your loyalty and your love. Your country honors the sacrifices you have made. And your family is so incredable proud of our Veteran.
I love you Grandpa, thank you.

I'd forgotten all about that poem. How appropriate for today! I'll have to make sure to thank my dad for his service!
