I think of my Dad often since he passed away. \u00c2\u00a0But Remembrance Day is the day I feel his presence the most. \u00c2\u00a0Dad served in the Korean War. \u00c2\u00a0My brothers were also in the Armed Forces. \u00c2\u00a0Many of my relatives \u00c2\u00a0served in different theatres of war and peacekeeping ~ this is in Remembrance of them as well ~<\/p>\n

IN FLANDERS FIELDS POEM<\/p>\n

The World\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Most Famous WAR MEMORIAL POEM<\/em>
\nBy Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae<\/em><\/h1>\n

\"LieutenantIn Flanders fields the poppies blow
\nBetween the crosses, row on row,
\nThat mark our place: and in the sky
\nThe larks still bravely singing fly
\nScarce heard amid the guns below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are the dead: Short days ago,
\nWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
\nLoved and were loved: and now we lie
\nIn Flanders fields!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take up our quarrel with the foe
\nTo you, from failing hands, we throw
\nThe torch: be yours to hold it high
\nIf ye break faith with us who die,
\nWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow
\nIn Flanders fields<\/strong><\/p>\n

Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915
\nduring the second battle of Ypres, Belgium<\/em><\/p>\n
