Lest we forget
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.We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Memo to CTV’s So You Think You Can Dance Canada
Popularizing the military-uniform-complete-with-red-armband-look done to hip hop probably isn’t the most brilliant move, considering the folks that have worn such uniforms have never been friends of human rights, liberty or freedom. Call the HRC? No. Learn some 20th century history? Yes.
I’m sure there was no harm intended, however it shows a level of ignorance that should be addressed.
