The Great War 1914-1918

We Shall Keep the Faith
by Moina Michael, November 1918


Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.

Inspired by:“In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae

God Hold Close The Fallen Heroes
From All Ages, From All Wars

Howdy, luvie.

Are you getting the cooler temps yet or does that begin later in the week? Those 70s you mentioned sound mighty nice. That’s where we were today.
