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.

--1Lt John McRae, RCA, WWI

Kind of sobering to think that in the 22 years between 1979 and 2001, 43 USMA graduates passed away; many of them Lt Col and Cols. In the 10 years between 2001 and 2011, 57 passed away; many of them Lts.
