"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."

There is a Flanders field everywhere our war dead are buried.

It brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful poem, and poignant music.

Thanks to all responsible.

When I was in the seventh grade that poem was in our literature textbook. I wonder if it’s still taught in school. Oh, it was 1963-’64.

Well, since I created the video that I posted on my blog, I really don’t see it as blog pimping, but whatever...
