Veteran’s Day
on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month
“Y’know, it seems to me this is all backwards…. you, me ever’body, ought to keep our big mouths shut all the whole year long so’s we’d have time to think of two minutes worth of somethin’ to say on the eleventh day of November“

Walt Kelly and his friends Pogo and Porkypine still say it best:
"Y'know, it seems to be me this is all backwards….
We, Ever'body, ought to keep our big mouths shut all the
whole year long so's we'd have time to think of two minutes worth of
somethin' to say on the eleventh day of November."
to all veterans and their families, thank you.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrea, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army
thanks to michellemabelle, aubrey, aubrey again, maureen, the CO peeps, and any others that have shared their personal and familiar remembrances of veterans.
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.
