LEST WE FORGET                                                                                                    
......We are the Dead. Short days ago                      
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
   Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
         In Flanders fields.........


This coming week we will share our appreciation and thankfulness for the many men and women that in the past and present who have done amazing and selfless acts to keep our country safe and filled with peace.
