ANZAC Day.

Today we remember the ANZACs
 (Australian and New Zealand Army Corp) 
and all service personal who have served, and are serving the country so we can enjoy our way of life.


We especially remember those who gave their lives.


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, and 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.

                                              Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD Canadian Army
