America's forgotten heroes
Today is Veteran's Day. It is a day in honor of all American Veterans. It was created by an Act of Congress in 1926 to remember the end of World War I and was originally called Armistice Day. November 11, is the day that the treaty ending World War I was executed. In 1954, it was changed to Veteran's Day to commemorate all US Veterans.
Today we celebrate their sacrifices and their love of country. May God Bless them all.

America's forgotten heroes

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.
- Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)
We remember
