* With a vivid description of the battlefield:
>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.
* With a personal reflection on the experience of war:
>I was a soldier once, and I saw too much.
I saw the blood and the bodies,
The pain and the suffering.
I saw the worst that humanity has to offer,
And it changed me forever.
* With a call to action against war:
>Let us remember the lives we lost,
The suffering that was endured,
And let us pledge to work for peace.
Let us build a world where war is no more,
And every child can grow up in a safe and peaceful world.
