************************************************

One hundred and thirty three names. One hundred and thirty three families. One hundred and thirty three stories.

They died for us.

They died for me.

They died for you.

What are you doing for them?

Are you showing you appreciate them?

Or are you putting them down by telling them they're not helping?

They need our support, whether we believe in the cause or not.

They`re willing to risk their lives for people who don`t even appreciate them. What are YOU doing in this world?

Wear a poppy. Say a prayer for our troops. Read all the names. Honour them.

Lest we forget.

I will finish with the most famous poem of all time, 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.
