Today is Remembrance Day or in America, they call is Veteran's Day. In the GREAT USofA NO holiday! Oh yes, the banks are closed, the post office is closed, all state & federal buildings & offices but NO...we still have SCHOOL! What is with that?! Crazy, I tell you!All my Canadian Family are home enjoying the day off & I'm stuck at work. Somedays I long to be a "Canadian" again! I will always be Canadian but I want the holidays of both....USA & Canada! Is that asking too much?
Here is a great way to honor Remembrance Day. All of YOU Canadian Friends & Family will appreciate this.
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 we go about the DAY, remember those that have served....long ago and those that serve today, so that we can celebrate and experience all the freedoms we do...in this life!
Have a GREAT day.
Have the TIME of your LiFe!
Candice
