Remembrance Day

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

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.

Amen to that

Gah! I can't believe I forgot about Armistice Day. My respects to all the brave young men who made this a day worth remembering.

Especially for Maniac:





French president Mitterand holding hands with German chancellor Kohl. In the coffin, an unknown soldier beneath a combined French-German flag. His nationality? Nobody knows, and it doesn't matter.
