THANK YOU to all of our Veterans for all you do, and have done, in the fight to defend our Freedoms! Freedom is never for free. It is a gift. One to be cherished. In this world, only Americans are guaranteed it. When it is gone from here, it will be gone from the world. To each American is passed the torch. “To be yours, to hold it high.” In Flanders Fields Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, 1872-1918 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 blow In Flanders fields.
