Nov 11th time to remember; here is a quote for today

[Nadine]

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.

Abraham Lincoln

Government, well we won't go there ,as far as anything else goes I'd sure like to shake it off

[lovinretirement]

It's a shame that our brave veterans, the ones who put themselves in harm's way, the ones who sacrifice their time with family, sacrifice their minds and sometimes, their very lives, are tossed aside by their government when they come home.
I thank each and every brave veteran for their service to keep us free.

"I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now." --Sophia Loren

Please today remember all the dead that fought for our freedom..

And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb, and beauty weeps the brave. By Joseph Drake

IN FLANDERS FIELDS POEM
The World’s Most Famous WAR MEMORIAL POEM
By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae................


Lieutenant Colonel John McCraeIn 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

[Brownie]

Beautiful.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” — President John F. Kennedy

God bless all the fallen soldiers for their ultimate sacrifice

[Jimber]

A day to remember, but we should never forget!
