Honoring our veterans

 



Our admiration, appreciation and gratitude go out to all of those men and women who have served our country in uniform. May God bless them and their families.

Update  A memorial to American soldiers subscribed for and erected by our Australian brothers and sisters: "Australian-American ‘Eagle’ Memorial in Canberra funded by Australians gets a million dollar facelift". (H/T: friend and commenter Gregory).

    Lest we forget.

    And another look at the memorial in Canberra paid for by Australians to say thank you to the United States after WW2.

      I didn't know about that memorial, Gregory. Thank you!

      My pleasure, Jeff. The current clownshow in Canberra seems to think that alliance with the US is an optional extra. The majority of Australians don't agree.

      That monument is very impressive and unmistakenly American. I did not know it was paid for by public contributions, that is a really nice. By way of context, in the 1950's, 63000 pounds would have bought you about a bakers dozen beachside houses in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

    Everyday is for veterans, in my book. But it's nice to have a special day to express gratitude. It's like sprinkles and a few cherries.
