In Flanders Fields

November 11th 2011, today is Remembrance Day. I will not be posting a dress today, this particular Remembrance Day has been especially moving to me, we were talking about World War 2 and the Jewish people who were killed. I can only imagine the pain the families, the children, the world went through. To show a minor amount of my everlasting respect towards all those who passed, I will be showing the classic remembrance day poem In Flanders Fields, along with some photos that remind us of these days.

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.

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae




Lest we forget the gift of peace, and the safe place to sleep tonight, due to millions of people giving up their lives, to give us a better life, as well as the Jewish people life would not be the same without them.
Lest we forget that we are
EQUALS

Lest we forget.

Happy Remembrance day

-Caroline
