To all those that made the supreme sacrafice.

In Flanders fields the poppys 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 tourch; Be yours to hold it high
And if ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Lt. Col. John McCrae

Thank you very much Al for sharing.
I wear my poppie proud to remember and support.
