For!...And The Sacrifices That Our Canadian Soldiers & Their Families Have Endured In The Past To Keep Our Country Free!...& All The Current Soldiers & Their Families Serving Here Within Our Country & Abroad...All Of These Brave Men & Women Are Some Of Our National Heroes...I Usually Always Create A Layout For Canada Day Each Year...But This Year Got Away From Me Unfortunately...So This Is My Opportunity To Honor All Of Our Past/Fallen & Current Members Serving In The Canadian Military & Their Families Too...All Those Who Have Sacrificed To Serve & Protect Us & Our Country!...The POPPY Is Our National Symbol For REMEMBRANCE DAY!...& Is Close To All Of Our Hearts...In Fact The Poppy Is My Favorite Flower...It Symbolizes So Many Wonderful Things!...Strength/Sacrifice/Bravery/Family...Many Years Ago Now During The First World War...In 1915...A Poem Called "In Flanders Fields" Was Created & Written By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae To Symbolize All The Sacrifices Of Those Who Fought In The First World War...It Spread Quickly & Over The Years The POPPY!...Has Become The NATIONAL Symbol Of SACRIFICE...For All Military Personnel Past/Present & Future...And Is Worn By Each & Every Person Who Wishes To Remember Their Sacrifices On REMEMBRANCE Day Each Year On NOVEMBER 11th...My Layout Encompasses All These Things & More...

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.

What a lovely tribute page to Lieutenant Colonel John McRae (one of Canada's finest, no question...). McRae, with his evocative poem, is the reason why we wear poppies in November.

You absolutely rocked this challenge! The red, white, and blue drew me in right away. I love how you repeated the flag. I loved learning about your favorite flower the poppy. I love that you scrap a page for Canada Day each year. Wonderful page!
