AJE - How Sweet It Is

An excerpt of the Heartland of America Band, based at Offutt AFB, NE, performing their own musical setting for the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae. Arranged by (then) SSgt Mike Maguire, sung by vocalist (then) SSgt Mitch Mitchell.

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.
