Today is Remembrance Day in Canada
Honouring those who fought for our freedom in WWI, the "war to end all wars" - yeah, right
Men would immigrate to Canada, only to join the army and went joyfully back to fight against the country which they
escaped from.
Leonard Cohen recites “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae | Legion Magazine
(poem of a soldier) read by Canadian poet laureate Leonard Cohen
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 1872 - 1918
