    …by Canadian physician/Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. Written May 3, 1915, after the funeral of his friend Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres.McCrae died in Mar, 1918, after contracting pneumonia and cerebral meningitis, after 3 years of war, so he never made it out of the Great War alive, either…

    I do this every year not only in memory of the fallen, but in memory of Sparky, who used it in his strip quite a bit.

    Thanks Pab. A poem learned as a child, revisited as a soldier, remembered as a traveler visiting Belgium, and never forgotten as an old vet.And for the millions of fallen heroes who gave their lives for a cause and an ideal, we honor and recognize your valor.

    I cannot read that poem without tears, for those who died, for those today who go in harm’s way —and for those who love them.

    They grow poppies in Afghanistan and Pakistan too. Irony, no?
