Same cartoons as the previous two years, but I still wanted to share them. My internet access will be limited over the next few days, so I am posting them early...

We Shall Keep the Faith
by Moina Michael, November 1918 Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields, Sleep sweet - to rise anew! We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the Faith With All who died. We cherish, too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a lustre to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders Fields. And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honor of our dead. Fear not that ye have died for naught; We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fields. I have a poppy I bought from the American Legion. They were selling them outside Chick Fil A one day years ago and it's a faded pink now. I need to go find some more poppies. |
