All Saints Day 2014

 In this small village in Flanders, volunteers crocheted poppies out of respect for those who fought and were killed during World War I, 100 years ago. The now legendary poem by John McCrae,  "In Flanders Fields," and its Dutch translation help us to never forget.

    Poppies help us remember those brave souls.

    WW I was the first industrial war resulting in mass death. We should remember, and honor those who died.

    Als men ziet wat er zich vandaag in de wereld afspeelt moet men besluiten dat de mensen een zeer kort geheugen hebben...
    Ik doe mijn best om dat af en toe op te frissen!
    Groetjes,

    We zien die poppies overal ter wereld op dit moment. In Belgie, de UK, Malaysia en Thailand.

    Groetjes,
    Filip
