Today when you’re out shooting and playing airsoft please take a pause on this of all days to REMEMBER those who gave their all so that we might enjoy the freedoms we do today, and never forget to honour their memory in all you do.
Play hard, Play safe, and above all, especially today, Play with Honour!
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.
In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.
