.In Flanders Fieldsmemorial-day
          John McCrae, 1915.

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.

   We cherish too, the Poppy red
   That grows on fields where valor led,
   It seems to signal to the skies
  That blood of heroes never dies.

    There is a parade in Thomasville,NC on Monday. I think it is at 11:00 AM. It is one of the biggest
    observances in NC. They just do very poor promos.
