Physician’s Contribution to Memorial Day
Tell Us About Your Multifaceted Career
- In Flanders Fields, a poem written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, a physician in the Canadian army, is one of the best known tributes to fallen soldiers, and marks another notable non-clinical contribution to literature by a doctor.
- 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.
- 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.
