AuBurn Pharmacy would like to thank those individuals from the past that have and are giving so much for us!
Only one holiday honors fallen American veterans, evokes memories of missing loved ones and simply allows us to remember those men and women that gave so much so we can remain FREE. Memorial Day. God Bless
The wearing of poppies is inspired by “In Flanders Fields,” written in 1915 by John McCrae. He saw poppies in burials around Belgium.
In Flanders Fields by John McCrae, May 1915
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.
