In Flanders Fields

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)

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

How will you Remember?

Our Veterans are ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things to protect our freedom and build a safer world to live in.

There are many ways you can show that you remember and honour our Canadian Veterans:

• Pin a poppy above your heart.
• Attend a local Remembrance Day ceremony.
• Visit a friend or relative who just returned home from Afghanistan or who served elsewhere in the world.
• Listen to Veterans talk about their experiences.
• Create a mashup and share it on the Veterans' Week Remembrance Feed.
• Visit the Veterans' Week fan page on Facebook, write on our wall and share how you remember.
• Change your FaceBook profile picture with a poppy, write on your wall about how you remember, or create your own remembrance fan page.
• Write about remembrance on your blog.

However you choose to remember, be sure you share with a friend, a family member or a colleague. Encourage them to take up the challenge too.
