Nov. 11th, Remembrance Day in Canada is coming up, do you all know the poem "In Flanders Fields"?

[shockedcanadian]

It was written by a Candian in WWI, it's the most popular poem in Canada for Remembrance Day. Just curious if you all know it, and/or recite it as we do. If not, it's worth listening to, powerful.

USA has a more active and vibrant military history and appreciation for service, so you don't need to refer back to WW2 and I to have relevance, many of you have family or might even have served yourselves. It's why I'm curious, if such an aged song is popular today in USA military circles and/or your Veterans Day.

Most Americans don’t know it

But I’ve memorized it by heart.

I remember learning of it in HS and it was recited in class many times...but dang if I can remember it now.

Thanks OP! I'm going to check it out (again).

I had to memorize it for a school test in 7th grade. Thank you Mr. Smith.
