Beautiful out here on the island as well - Pay some respect to the veterans and then rake/mow the lawn one last time this year.

To all the veterans out there, thank you so much for your service to our country, for the sacrifices you make to protect our freedoms, and for keeping our country safe from those who would harm us. We as a nation are forever grateful to you all.

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.

Lest we forget

still one of the most powerful pieces of literature. just cuts to the heart of it all


Good Canadian kid Lt Col John McRae.
was a doctor, and already a veteran of the 2nd Boer war. Enrolled in the armed forces at age 41 when WWi broke out
had the option of joining the medical corps, but volunteered to join fighting unit instead

wrote the poem after Battle of Ypres, after presiding over the funeral of a fallen brother in arms.
he died of pneumonia before the war ended.

Let's take a moment to remember and give thanks to those who paid the ultimate price in order for us to enjoy the freedoms that we enjoy today.
