To the Vets of the World

Post by RedKGB »

It is vets day in the USA, how ever any one the world over has fought for something greater than themselves.

So to rest of the vets the world over, thank you.

"Remembrance Day (sometimes known as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War"

Lots of countries celebrate this day!

I attended my city's Remembrance day ceremony today to show my respect for all those who fought and those who died.

mah Canadian contribution

John McCrae, May 1915

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.

Jorb make poppies wearable to remember the fallen hearthlings who didn't make it to Valhalla in todays update plz
