Memorial Day

Recommended Posts

I should not have made my last post political, I'm sorry. I thank every man and woman who have sacrificed their lives so I can live in freedom.

Much thanks to all who gave their lives so that we could argue on a low-rent FF message bored.  

I was going to bump an old thread as the following should be posted every Memorial Day, but I'll just do it here.

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.

We had to learn that poem by heart when I was in high school. Kids today don't know who fought who in what war, nor why.

Definitely not. Pretty much an insult to those of us who sacrificed. 

You did exactly what you accused Trump of doing.

Props to you!

Your original post made you sound like a petty disrespectful little biotch. Especially because I have had family members die in service of this country.

This post proves me absolutely incorrect.

We may disagree on issues but you appear to be a solid person.  Not that you care about my opinion.

i hope you and your family had a good day!
