Peace for this World!

For without peace in this world, we wouldn't have much of anything, including this wonderful Wealthy Affiliate platform for us to work on ...

On this Day of November 11, 2021:

Lest we forget !

Poppy Day has been celebrated since the end of World War I, when on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, all arms fell silent around the world.

Remembrance Day or Poppy Day is celebrated by some 53 (Commonwealth) countries and is likened to America's Veterans' Day and is celebrated on November 11th annually.

A Salute of Respect for all who have served so bravely for Peace & Freedom!

We thank YOU!

Many of you may have heard of this poem,

here it is again for all to read & note with feeling:


* * * * * * * * *

Famous poem: "In Flanders Fields"

by John McCrae, who bravely served in WWI.

He lived from 1872 to 1918.

~ ~ ~ ~

"In Flanders fields -- poppies blow
Between the crosses, row by row,
That mark our places; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly high above
Scarce heard the guns below."

"We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, start the dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie down
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 above
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, although poppies grow
In Flanders fields."

~ ~ ~ ~

The poem recited above is in the public domain and adapted.

Let us have a moment of silence in memory of the Fallen ... who bravely fought for freedom and peace ... so that we may all live in peace and freedom . . .

let us pray:


---- a moment of silence at the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month ----

May peace, light and love reign over this world ... forever more ... make it so ...

Lest we forget . . .

Once we remember, we are whole!

The only poppies I've heard of before now were the yellow ones in The Wizard of Oz. But today I learned something new about poppies thanks to your post, Keisha.

My grandfather saw some service time during WWI and I had an older uncle on my Dad's side who served during WWII. Both made it back home safely.

Appreciate the post!
Isaiah 😊

Thanks, Jeff. I used to feel like a wimp sometimes because my dad and a few of his brothers were in the army too. The friendly army recruiters came sniffing around when I was in college, but my dad preferred that I keep my head in my books instead.

You're welcome Isaiah!

Your dad was right, that was probably a good thing! I let the army pay for my degrees at Kansas State University after I got out!

The Army allowed me to grow up a little after 6 years before I ventured back into school!😎🐢😼🐢
