Remembrance Day – Flanders Fields
For Those Who Serve
I am thankful for the freedoms I have, and I am often saddened when I think that not all people have the same opportunity. It would be amazing to have a world in which war did not exist; sadly, that is not the case. To all who have served and are serving our beautiful country, I want to say thank you.
The wearing of poppies was inspired by the World War I poem, “In Flanders Fields” by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. I thought it was fitting to incorporate McCrae’s poem into the Remembrance Day doodle I did this week.
Courage – Remembrance Day
“The secret to happiness is freedom…and the secret to freedom is courage.”
-Thucydides

I could not do what they do or sacrifice what they sacrifice. I do not have the courage. Thank you to all who fight or have fought for my freedom.
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.”
-Mark Twain
I posted this piece last year and have been asked to re post it, so here it is. The original will also be for sale in my on-line store in the next couple days.
