🌺 Lest We Forget 🌺
Today, we honor the brave souls, both human and animal, who risked everything for the safety and freedom of others. From the trenches to the fields, their courage reminds us of the sacrifices that make our world a safer place.
As John McCrae so powerfully captured in In Flanders Fields:
“In Flanders fields the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row...”
The red poppy is more than a flower, it is a symbol of memory, sacrifice, and hope. Each bloom whispers a story of devotion and bravery.
🐾 At Abbey Animal Hospital, we pause to remember the loyal service animals who gave their lives alongside soldiers, proving that courage has no species.
“Courage is not just in the hearts of men, but in every paw that walks beside them.”
This Remembrance Day, we honor them all. 🌺
