Remembering red poppies and John McCrae's haunting poem on Memorial Day.
a Touching post.
3 of the 4 grandfathers within my marriage survived 1 was in both Ypres then Vimy.
Would me and my husband be here with our own family--if another did not return home to Alberta?
My grandfather, a survivor of WWI, would quote this from memory, as would my father, a veteran of the Korean Conflict. Thank you for your ongoing tribute.
This is a very interesting read. I actually translated In Flanders Field into Ukrainian, and cry every time I read this poem.
