Looks Good on Paper by Dan Collins for May 27, 2024

Even if they didn’t actually die from battle wounds, they are still missed.

Wow!

Beautiful sentiments.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:/ Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn./ At the going down of the sun and in the morning/ We will remember them./. Laurance Binyon

Well done…….They have one at the door of my Walmart.

amen

Thank you, Dan.

Never forget, always remember. While we are all here picking each other apart over insignificant differences, so gave all to make that possible.

……the spirit lives on!!!!!

I had never heard of that.

Beautifully done.

NEVER FORGET.

I have been at Military Messes with the memorial table. I cry while I’m eating. Very moving.

In Flanders Fields

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.

This is an absolutely beautiful memorial. For those who cannot hear or see, you are not forgotten.

I never knew this, how wonderful

In Flanders FieldsJohn McCrae1872 – 1918In 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:

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
       In Flanders fields.

Remember.
