Memorial Day

This is a poem from WW1 but it seemed appropriate.  It's short, just about a minute.

On Memorial day MLB players had a patch on the left side of their uniforms -- a red poppy with "lest we forget".

Nice tribute.

Indeed so. I don't follow MLB, so thanks for mentioning this.

A couple of the squad members tweeted about helping veterans on Memorial Day, and later removed the tweets when some people corrected them. Shocking, I know.
