Tomorrow is the 11th day of the 11th month. At eleven a.m. veterans across the country will commemorate not just the end of WW-1 but the memory of those who died. I thought the below poem typifies those ceremonies. Please pass it along to others on the NIKE net. Thank you - Angus "Scotty" Robinson Don't forget Veterans Day! IN MEMORY OF DEPARTED COMRADES Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die in vain as long as my sacrifice is not forgotten. (Author Unknown)
