Remembrance Day

Remembrance in Canada is tomorrow. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we have a moment of silence for all those who fought. We recite this poem in our schools:

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.



By James Mc Crae



Please take the time to read at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.



Thanks,
