Remembrance Day / Jour du Souvenir november 11 / le 11 novembre

In Flanders Fields BY JOHN MCCRAE

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

We are the Dead. Short days ago

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

Between the crosses, row on row,

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

To you from failing hands we throw

That mark our place; and in the sky

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

In Flanders fields.

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Let’s take a few moments on November 11 to remember the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace.
