∙ 9y agoThe famous "Flanders Fields" in northern Belgium have long been remembered and honored by Europeans and others as the final resting place for soldiers who fought during World War I.

Remembrance Day is in honor of those who have died on the battlefield. It is the only international memorial. Poppies come from the poem, In Flanders Field, by LtCol John Macrae. It has been a day of remembrance since WWI.In Flanders Fields the poppies growBetween the crosses row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.
