Remembrance Day

Today is the day we remember those who made the unltimate sacrifice. At 1111hrs on the 11th day of the 11th month we pay our respects to the fallen with a momment of silence.

My family has had a pround history of service. Remembrance Day is very important to us. 

                 In Flanders Fields

    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.
