Nov. 11 is Remembrance Day In Canada. World War One ended on the eleventh
hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, 1918. Let us have two
minutes of silence to honour all of the servicemen and women, merchant
seamen, and civilians who gave their all for us.


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.

- John McCrae
