such evocative poetry! My mother was able to recite many poems from memory & "In Flanders Fields" is one I remember well because of her.
"And think this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;"
Because we have had human beings that created poems like these - that's why our freedom and values have always been worth fighting for.
