It was interesting to read that Punch magazine wanted to change a word, 'grow' sounds much better to me. Not that it makes too much difference to a very thought provoking piece.<br />fiona andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413757450464594746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-23518255089121070742013-11-13T12:46:15.593+02:002013-11-13T12:46:15.593+02:00thank you for this wonderful post - a lovely tribu...thank you for this wonderful post - a lovely tribute to the man who wrote the poem and Remembrance Day.

We had to memorize In Flanders Fields when I was in elementary school and we bought red poppies to pin to our clothes too. I wonder why they stopped that? In researching World War I, I read several books written by Canadian officers and knew of the great number of men who served in it long before American soldiers went. <br /><br />Didn't Dr. McCrae have a wonderful face? You can see character there.Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-40206034157762224652013-11-12T01:01:16.961+02:002013-11-12T01:01:16.961+02:00This was really interesting.

In the US, we don't seem to have the same air of remembrance on this day the way people do in Canada and Europe. But I'm glad to have another way of looking at it; as much as I respect the Veteran's Day holiday we have here, I think it's important to recognize veterans of wars long past, as well as the veterans alive today.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-44599643544553407452013-11-12T00:41:29.104+02:002013-11-12T00:41:29.104+02:00As always beautiful post, Poppy.
