Memorial Day (by Pilgrim)
Today, in the United States of America we celebrate in remembrance those who have given their very lives in battle and service to our country that freedom may live on and liberty enjoyed by all. It is indeed a time of remembrance of the dead but also of reflection upon those who are currently serving in the military and other first responders so that all here and those elsewhere who likewise are doing what we too often take for granted and that which they risk their lives that we may go about our everyday lives. Take just a moment out of your busy routine today and give thanks to God for the manifest blessings you are enjoying because He has raised up brave men and women to fight and work to keep you free from the evil of this world. And remember the families that have lost their sons and daughters who gave the ultimate price to preserve what we have now and hopefully for many years to come.
In Flanders Fields
John McCrae
1872 –1918
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.
