Shameful

[draconis]

Dammit. I know that those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it, but most they doom the rest of us as well?

I showed this to several of my cow-orkers. (And no, that's not a typo. After today, they deserve that moniker.) While they understood that it was about Veteran's Day / Armistice Day, not *one* of them understood what "that red thing on the desk" was.

And only two of them had even heard of Flanders Field. Thank you, shrewreader, for posting the full verse.

Can I be ashamed of these people now?

::sigh:: Honey, I had people working with me at APL who didn't know what Dec 7th was.

You're welcome --

and yes. you may.

And given your hyphenation, I'd suggest you BBQ them.

Hugs for working with them...
