Poems of Remembrace Day

Yesterday, on Sunday May 3, 2015 the world celebrated the 100th anniversary of the day John McCrae wrote the poem "In Flanders Field" during World War I and the Second Battle of Ypres.

To mark the special occasion we even got commemorative coins and stamps from The Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Post, as they released some awesome silver coins and stamps, in celebration of the famous piece of poetry.

Well coincidently it was around this time of year in 2010 that I wrote a Remembrance Day themed poem of my own. It's called, "A Noble Death" and it became quite popular with my friends family and the people around me who've seen it. Today I am happy to announce that the poem will officially be made public when I post it right here on my blog for all of you to see! The poem will fittingly be revealed on this years Remembrance Day on Wednesday November 11, 2015.  Mark your calendars!
