Happy Memorial Day! Thank You to those that have served Our Country
A year ago on Memorial Day I posted this post: http://crzblue.mlblogs.com/2010/05/31/memorial-day-in-flanders-fields-we-shall-keep-the-faith/. It contains the two poems “In Flanders Field” by Lieutenant-Colonel John Mc Crae and “We Shall Keep the Faith” from Mona Michael. They are two powerful poems.
To all those that have served our country and specially those that paid with their lives, a big thank you! Like the poem “WeShall Keep the Faith” says “The blood of heores never dies.”
