I'm quite certain every Canadian child learns to recite this poem at school. But no matter how many times I read it or hear it, the poem only gains the power to move me even more. My favourite lines have always been:<BR/>'We are the Dead. Short days ago<BR/>We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow'<BR/>There's another part of my heart that always loves this line:<BR/>'Take up our quarrel with the foe:<BR/>To you from failing hands we throw<BR/>The torch; be yours to hold it high'<BR/>I'm always proud of that fighting spirit. Even as I look to see an olive branch clutched in my own fingers.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-54375951824897275282007-11-11T16:00:00.000+00:002007-11-11T16:00:00.000+00:00I'm too young to remember the war Buffalo but my D...I'm too young to remember the war <B>Buffalo</B> but my Dad's tales of those times terrify me.

The bombing in WWII of your cities, towns, your very homes is hard for Americans to grasp.
