Hello KX Kids, Wednesday, November 11th is Remembrance Day. It’s a special day when we remember and thank the brave people who served our country during wars and conflicts, and honour the sacrifices they made to protect our freedom and help create a peaceful world. We wear poppies, attend ceremonies, and take a quiet moment to remember their courage.

In Flanders Fields
By John McCrae

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
