MEMORIAL DAY 2007 ~ TO ALL OUR HEROES

Milan (UK)

"Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours."

Memorial Day 2007

Milane, I love this poem and so please
allow me to add something from latter time,
z ucty k tem, kteri obetovali zivoty
za nasi svobodu.
Slova, ktera to rikaji vsecko:

"NEVER IN THE FIELD OF HUMAN CONFLICT
WAS SO MUCH OWED BY SO MANY TO SO FEW."

Sir Winston Churchill


Ale muj Memorial Day by nebyl bez teto basne:

In Flanders Fields

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

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.

May God Bless them All!

Milan++++
