I know that sounds trite, but my message is genuine.  Thinking of all the veterans including my friends here and especially one of my best friends who was buried in Arlington last spring.

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.

Good for Memorial Day.

 

Which is what today is for most everyone else. I sort of wish it were reversed for us, and we did Memorial Day today and Veterans Day in May, so we'd be more in line with everyone else. Always gotta be different!
