Remembrance Day Acknowledgement

ODE recited by President

“They went with songs to the battle

They were young straight of limb true of eye, steady and aglow,

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted

They fell with their faces to the foe

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.”

Lest we forget.

Last post — Bugler (Sandra Thomas)

11am — One Minutes Silence

Rouse — Bugler (Sandra Thomas)

Lest we forget.

Reading of Poem “In Flanders’ Field” Read By President

In Flanders’ Field

In Flanders’ Field, 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.

Prayer/Benediction — Pastor John Cheyne
