I do too...poetic as well as appropriate for this weekend...thanks.
Beautiful; thanks for posting.
Saint Crispan and Crispian’s Day is October 25th.
In addition to the Battle of Agincort, it is also the day of the Battle of Balaclava (The Charge of the Light Brigade),

and the Battle of Leyte Gulf (Second Battle of the Philippine Sea), possibly the largest naval battle in history.

Perhaps a better choice for Memorial Day:
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.
— Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander McCrae, MD
That speech has become the model for every speech of any note among the English speaking peoples, whether in real life or in fiction, rousing men to courage in battle. Recalling it is fitting for any occasion commemorating martial virtue, even if it’s rather far in the yearly cycle from St. Crispin’s Day.
A good Memorial Day to all.
