Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918) wrote:
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.


So today is Armistice day in the UK (and commonwealth), and I believe Veteran's day in the US. I bought my poppy a few days ago, and should be going to lay a wreath on my Granddad's grave this weekend with some family.

What are you doing?

It is also Remembrance Day in Canada.

Salute to Canadian heroes, and heroes around the world.

I don't have any military in my immediate circle (well, I have an uncle who served stateside in Vietnam) so there's less personal impact than those who've suffered losses. I did buy some assorted granola bars and beef jerky for my older kid to donate at school for shipment overseas. Maybe Alma will get my Slim Jims!

To all the troops out there, we know what you do, the sacrifices you make so our children can grow up in a free world. We remember, and we always will.

Also, thanks for all the cool airplane pictures and tanks and ships and stuff too.

When work was over I drove the the Legion hall here and donated money to the Vets and ate a nice pancake breakfast.
Watched them shoot a salute after listening to a couple of speeches.

If it wasn't for the Army I wouldn't have been born.

Salute!

My mother's favorite army tune:

Oh the biscuits in the Army
They say are very fine
One rolled off the table
And killed a friend of mine.

Oh! I don't want no more of Army life
Gee mom I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Gee mom I wanna go home.

My father's first division's "unofficial" motto:

We joke, smoke rope, take dope
But we don't play games
You @#%^ with us, you @#%^ with death.
- 11th Airborne (before they got rolled into 82nd)

My mother often said the 11th was disbanded for being too mean. Smiley: lol

Most zombies, maybe. But there's always the supernatural kind.
