Anzac Day
I remember .. being in school and given our poppies
Lest we forget written on them ..
I never could ..
both of my Grandfathers served in the wars..
Both of them told stories about their service
and how close they were to their brothers in arms..
I later when i was old enough to understand what war really meant read stories about Nam .. and watched the movies.
Saving Private Ryan being one of favourites..
It makes me sad , when sometimes people don't even know
Australia has been an Allie of the American Military for a long , long time ..
We've fought long beside you , in Germany , in Vietnam , In Afghanistan and Iraq..
We've lost plenty of our men doing so ..
Don't ever forget we were there beside you .. comrades .. and after the fights on long days sharing
booze , and other things to keep your spirits high ..
Lest We Forget
