Thank you to anyone serving for our freedom.

2 Years ago during our summer vacation we visited Canada Bomber Command Memorial  (formerly the Nanton Lancaster Air Museum)

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

 

The Moon is from Last night and today we decided it would be good to walk around Fish Creek and look around.
