Amen!
The title piece of In Flanders Fields and Other Poems, 1919, was printed as:[4]
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.

As someone who was married to one US Marine and had two brothers who also served in the Marines, I am very grateful to our men and women in uniform and their sacrifice.

We don't say it enough.

My father was a WWII vet and my uncles and brother served in the Navy.
Thanks to all who are willing to sacrifice and their families who do so as well.

From a Military brat whose father served in the Army and Air Force, whose husband served in Vietnam, a nephew who served in Irag several time and Uncles who were WWII Vets, and last but not least, a son who will be enlisting in the Army, I thank you from the bottom of my soul and for those still serving overseas I wish you safely home.
In a world filled with causes for worry and
anxiety...
we need the peace of God standing guard over our hearts and
minds.

Today isn't about those who only served (that's veteran's day), it's about those who served and died in the line of duty. Let's give thanks for those with the courage to sacrifice everything for those inalienable rights we all possess.
WARK!

Any day is a good day to give thanks for them all, alive or gone. Honor the dead and thank the living :o).

Not an American but a Brit, also grateful for the bravery, honour and generosity shown by American servicemen - and civilians - in WWII.
"Thank you" seems inadequate but it is sincere.

To all those soldiers who go where their country sends them, perform the task with honor. To those who have sacrificed their lives in the task. Thank you, you deserve much more.
