This Remembrance Day, take a moment to watch our #HeritageMinute on John McCrae, the First World War soldier who penned the poem ‘In Flanders Field’ in 1915. The poem helped popularize the red poppy as a symbol of Remembrance. #LestWeForget pic.twitter.com/xBrFI2OCuz

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.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Always can count on Canada!!!!!!! Breaking my heart for all who served!
Always at the Front lines with ya friend ???
