Honoring American Heroes

The Cordova Community Council is proud to present a community event honoring those who have bravely served the nation in time of war and peace.

Our plans for 2025 include a moving musical tribute and recognition ceremony for Memorial Day, staged at the beautiful Cordova High School Performing Arts Center.

POPPIES: Symbol of Remembrance

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae

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.
