Today is Remembrance Day. It is a day of recognition of the efforts of so many people to fight for our freedom, both past and present. In honour of this special day, we encourage you to reflect on the following poem 'In Flanders Fields' by John McCrae:
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.
Thank you to all who have bravely served. Today, and all days, we salute you.
