Welcome Memorial Day, turning the pages now to Summer thoughts and plans. Just a few words about the real meaning of the day, shared from a DAR post today...

Far too many Americans have come to think of this as only the unofficial holiday to begin the summer season – please: be an example of the true purpose behind this national observance. Let us not break the faith with these brave Americans, as so eloquently expressed in the World War I poem by John McCrae,

In Flanders Fields
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.
