Just wanted to say thanks to all those who fought for our freedom and still continue to do so.

Yes, thanks to everyone who sacrificed.

My thanks go to those brave individuals who fought to make the world a free place for me to live in today.

 

[KABOOM]

Thank You to all who have served bravely for their country and fought to get us all where we are. I don't even have one tenth the courage as those who have served.

 

[Cman]

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.

Cman, I have just read that poem from a book that has a collection of poems about World War 1, none of the poets survived.

Don't just remember today, remember tomorrow as well.
