In Flanders Fields, words by LCol John McCrae (1872-1918) & muisc by Geoff Brown .wmv

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

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.

Some things should never be forgotten...I hope that future generations will continue to remember exactly why that is...

Beautiful song Geoff. A great tribute to our veterans...One of which was my father,

a Flight Engineer on an Air America C-130...Killed in Laos on April 10, 1970.
