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.
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
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:
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.

A TIME TO REMEMBER AND PRAY for Our Military Units around the world, for our Government Officials, and for our President and God-given right decisions in these times of global indecision.
O God, our Father, Strong to save: Consider this Nation, our issues are grave. Bless our young folks who willingly serve, Your grace in service, they strongly deserve. For the parents of the fallen, we ernestly pray, that we'll see loved ones again, in that great peaceful day. We pause this day in order to say, 'Dear Lord, their memories we keep sweet, 'till someday we'll meet, with a hug and kiss, on a great golden street! Amen.
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
