And today that flower lives on at Edmonds College, from seeds brought from those very fields, thanks to former Edmonds College student and Navy veteran Gabriel Landry. The seeds for the flowers came here with Gabriel directly from Flanders Fields, a region in Belgium. Here is the poem:In Flanders FieldsBy John McCraeIn Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lie,In Flanders fields. If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.
