Thanks for putting the remembrance poppy in the C*llarMe font.


Written by a Canadian doc about the death of a beloved student, fragged by a German shell.

Lest We Forget:
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.

to build a home, and make something of himself. He risked his life for the cause of freedom and for it he paided the ultimate price. The price he paided saddens

me, but I'm grateful that he and millions like him were willing to fight for freedom. Today and everyday we should remember them and also take some time to think about our

freedom and what it means to us.

Ohhhh that gave Me pangs of missing My folk group! I ran one for 11 years from My house. I would have had a tough time choosing what to sing, but probably Dylan's "Masters of War" would have topped the list if someone else hadn't sung it first!

We watched a TV show here in Australia that featured Michael Palin who had researched the deaths on the last day of WWI, leading up to the armistice. Absolutely tragic to Me that some of the generals were gung ho about fighting right up to the last minute, even when they knew that after 11am they could peacefully take the territory. Apparently all the French men who died on that last day have gravestones saying the 10th November, they didn't want to admit it was on the last day of the war. They found the granddaughters of the last British casualty and took them to the grave, and also gave them a picture of him that they'd never had, very moving. Another thing was pointing out that the casualties, those who were physically and mentally disfigured, are often neglected, we tend to remember the "glorious dead" and yet we can't know the true impact without thinking as poise mentioned. At the end, he pointed out that no matter on which day of the war they died, every death was a tragedy, and to someone, somewhere, a huge loss. There are no winners in war either.

Status: offline 		I also would like to thank all those who have served and are now serving in theaters of war.  The families face fear every day not knowing if their loved one will make it home.  Them men and women on the frontlines deal with death and horror every day.  Not only is there physical death, there's emotional death.  PTSD is know recognized as the illness it is, thank the Lord. 

No one comes away unharmed, be it again physical or mental health.  A poem was read by the priest who did the service in Ottawa at the Memorial.  It was written by a 10 yr old girl who lost her dad in Afghanistan a few yrs ago.  To hear the words this child had written was truly touching, such maturity.  And I cried when I heard that and of course Amazing Grace played on the bagpipes.

The last of the World War II vets are thinning in rank.  They are now. for the most part in their late 80's and 90's.  But we will always remember the sacrifices they made and the lives lost so tragically to bring peace back to the world.  There will always be wars, there will always be those who are prepared to serve with honor and dignity.  May God look out for them and theirs.

In my youth ... they sold poppies on every street corner ... and I was told stories of combat ... in far away places ...

Truly, it amazes me ...

that today ... so few care ...

Or even know!

Status: offline 		I wanted to take a moment to say "thank you". Every generation of my family has served. My dad served in WWII, my ex's dad in Korea and Viet Nam, my ex in Honduras and Desert Shield/Storm, and now my youngest son is in AFBMT, preparing to dedicate -his- life to the service of our country (I heard from him yesterday -- the first time since he shipped out). I am humbled and grateful for the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform make on our behalf, and for their willingness to stand as a human shield for our nation. I am so grateful that there are people who realize what such a choice means.

Thank you all for remembering past service, and for recognizing those who still, seeing all that is happening in the world, offer themselves in that service.

Calla
