Notre Dame Navy ROTC Color Guard for the Veteran's Day Vigil at the Clarke Memorial
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.
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.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
~John McCrae
On this Veteran's Day, remember to say a prayer in thanksgiving for all those who have defended our country, and those who continue to do so today.
We are so blessed as Catholics to also be able to pray for the soldiers who have fallen in the line of duty.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine; et lux perpetua luceat eis.
