In Flanders Fields

[thesleepingbear]

The doctor who wrote the poem, after realizing that the body he had just tried to save, was his best friend, also succumbed to the tragedy of war a few weeks later. We will remember him on the 11th as the annual ceremony of remembrance is to take place at the university where he taught medicine, before he answered the call. May we never forget his sacrifice

[simonhm2]

how can you 'love remembrance day? its about people who died for our freedom key word being DIED

[RainShowers2505]

Not just the dead; it's a day for remembering all who fought for our freedom, whether they came home alive or were killed in battle.

If it were only a day to remember those who died, why would there be parades of veterans at the Remembrance Day ceremonies?

@ RedInuYasha14 In Flanders Fields de John Mc Crea, Lt Col médecin d'une ambulance de toute première ligne (Essex Farm en code-5Km d'Ypres) : il opérait dans des condtions effroyables. Le poème a été pour "Punch" en 1915. McCrea repose maintenant dans la Somme. Tous les jours à 20H000 est sonné le "Last Post" (Porte de Menin à Ypres ) par des pompiers volontaires : Poignant!

The day is done night has come never to rise again. they shall never age or grew old. for they are safe in the Fathers arms. may we never forget those who gave all and left their familes to fight they left their wifes and children and parents. may the rest in peace.
