Thank You, Veterans

Thanks to the soldiers who put everything on the line for us time and time again.

Hey, what a wonderful picture! I'm sorry that your first two comments had to be Spam. Have you thought about turning on Word Verification so you don't get that anymore? Just a thought. :)

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.

-John McCrae

Lest we forget!

Scott & Julia-

That's awesome! Especially fitting since today (Nov 11) ended that awful awful war that Grampa went to fight and that McCrae wrote about.

Thanks!

Dear The Village Idiot,

I perused your post (Thank You, Veterans) with much interest as I was looking for ways to buy and sell quality assurance highway construction. Unfortunately your article was not exactly what I was looking for
quality assurance highway construction. But luckily there is a site I have found that allows you to buy and sell anything like quality assurance highway construction on interest free credit and you can pay for your quality assurance highway construction whenever you want. Here's the link one more time: quality assurance highway construction.

Hi The Village Idiot. I was looking for knitting instructions related information and came across your blog. Very good reading! I have a knitting instructions site. You can find everything about knitting stitches, needles, machines, magazines and more. Check it out when you can :)
