A Veteran's Day Remembered

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. 
Colonel John McRae, In Flanders Fields  
Veteran's Day in America, Armistice Day, 1918, Remembered
