why only the eleventh do they not still die do we not still live enjoying the fruit of their labour
does peace not rest on such as they surely we can do more than a single day to treasure what these have bought
those bereft recall many more days have lost more than we can say do they not deserve a monument
we are free yet are not free if any remain enslaved ere their prison become our own
to you whose pain my freedom buys there are no words for what you have done but for what you have done and are doing “Thank you.”
In his poem “In Flanders Fields” John McCrae writes these words:
“Take up our quarrel with the foe:
In a sense the battle is never won as each generation battles its own evils. Freedom is kept by constant watch or it is lost.
Until HE returns, it will not end. Until HE returns, those who guard our lives at cost of their own cannot be praised too highly. And after HE returns, will receive their just reward.
