In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
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.
You can see this poem at the Veterans Memorial by “Flanders Fields” along with a response by Moina Michael.
Moina’s Response
By: Moina Michael
1915
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heros never dies.
Moina was the one to conceive the idea of wearing red poppies in honor of those who died.
Please wait a few moments while a Veterans’ Day video loads above.

How does 505 divided by 2 equal 575? When NM splits into two area codes. NM, one of the few states with just a single area code, will be adding one new area code (575) starting October 7, 2007. For the first year, calls will be automatically re-directed but after October 7, 2008 it will be mandatory to dial 575 for the areas that have changed.
505
Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, Gallup, Los Lunas and Farmington will be keeping the 505 area code.
575
Roswell, Taos, Clovis, Hobbs and Truth or Consequences will be switching to the new 575 area code.
This will affect all landlines (wired) and cellular (wireless) numbers. While I feel for the business owners who will be affected by this change, this is a good sign for NM. It means we are growing and the additional area code will allow the telecommunication needs to keep up.
One company, 505 Southwestern , based their name on the area code. An Albuquerque based company making Chili products has stated it would not change their name if our area code changed. Fortunately, we don’t have to test that theory out as 575 Chili doesn’t have the same ring as 505 Chili does!
