Heart of the City by Steenz for May 29, 2017

I shall ne’er forget the fallen (I remember them 24/7/365; 366 every four years).

IN FLANDERS FIELDS By Lieutenant Colonel 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

(Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium)

Memorial Day isn’t just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that’s a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It’s a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it. Pete Hegseth

On Memorial Day, I don’t want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live. Eric Burdon

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is the first comic strip I’ve seen today that acknowledges the day. Not that it’s required, of course. It’s just something I always notice and appreciate. Thanks, Mr. Tatulli.

Thank you.

Thank you for always remembering with a nice tribute Mr. Tatulli.

Being a surviving veteran, I remember my fallen brothers and sisters every day. I’m glad a day is set aside for others to remember . . .

Beautiful tribute to the fallen heroes!

Thank You for this cartoon strip.

Sure.
