Two things instantly bring a tear to my eye.
The poem "Lest we Forget"
The hymn "For those in peril on the sea."
They always have.
Our boys fought as a team, with courage and resolution.
In Vietnam the Americans always felt safer if there was an Aussie at their back. It wasn't only the L1A1 that did it either. Long Tan proved that.
I spent 12 years in the Navy. I felt privileged to do so.
If anyone derides our effort, I smile because they are ignorant. I shake my head because they are fools and I tell them they are lucky our boys died for them because if they were here now, they'd look at them and not bother.
