Remembrance Day

I am off to Missoula Montana, for a real jam in memorandum of Tanner Olsen.

A day of remembrance both traditional and non. I have my poppy to wear, and have decided to share my favourite poem by John McCrae; "In Flanders Field."

by John McCrae, May 1915

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.
