"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

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

DeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteEveryday 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.
