John McCrae ln Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, 'Phat 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 falling hands We throw The torch: be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, tho poppies grow In Flanders fields. Zin illllrmnriam DEWEY F. HOOVER CLARENCE M. BEST LLOYD HORSTMEIER R. W. Lillurd Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead: The fight that ye so bravely led We've taken up. And we will keep True faith with you who lie asleep With each a cross to mark his bed, And poppies blowing overhead, Where once his own life blood ran red. So let your rest be sweet and deep In Flanders fields. Fear not that ye have died for naught: The torch ye threw to us we caught: Ten million hands will hold it high, And Freedom's light will never die! We've learned the lesson that ye taught ln Flanders fields. THE AMERICAN'S CREED I believe in the United States of' America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people: whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed: a democracy in a republic: a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States: a perfect Union, one und inseparable: established upon those principles of freedom, equality. justice, and humanity, for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it: to support its Constitution: to obey its laws: to respect its flag, - - , and to defend it against all enemies. f-William Tyler luge.
