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.
John McCrae, 1872 – 1918
No poppies here. Just rows and rows of white markers. This is the Veteran's Cemetery in Staunton, Va.
“He’ll come
down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise…”
1 Thessalonians 4

It is sad to think of all the young soldiers whose lives were cut short. Thankful for their sacrifice.
Just so so sad...so many lives gone...and I cannot help but think of the loved ones left behind.
Great, but sad tribute to those that have fallen.

Amen! Praying for our men and women. My gardening mentor,Marv, is a Korean War vet. The stories he shares, I just shake my head in wonder of how they do it.
Prayers for all!
