I thought this appropriate for this morning.... 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. written by ---- John McCrae Let's remember them all today....

;Dour RSA do a thing on one of our local lads that didnt come back. We get to hear what they did and went through and where they died. lt is really interesting for the kids and others that are new to the area. This year was one who was in the air force and afterwards his family get to put a flower on his " memorial" in the hall.
