I hope everyone remembers the veterans that died for us so that we could freely write long missives about why we hate subdivisions and not have the developers come and beat us up. And that everyone also remembers the soldiers who are out there even now. I don't like the politicians who send us to war, but I have the utmost respect for the soldiers willing to go out there and actually fight it. Also, for me it's personal as my grandpa on my Dad's side lost his hand in WW2.

So have a solemn Remembrance Day.

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.
