A completly self-serving bump

No speech you give ... will be worthy of them...
The words of the living can add nothing to the deeds of the dead.
The best you can do . . . IS FINISH THE JOB THEY STARTED

Yes, lets.

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae 1916

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 sunsets 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.

This was Dave Barry??!!! I'm stunned! I enjoy his humor, but never figured him for a serious type. Guess I was wrong.
