Wow, that picture is pretty moving. I know where I want to spend my next vacation!
I try to post it every time Australians are mentioned. I must've looked at it and posted it at least a hundred times . . . but it still makes me as emotional today as it did when I first saw it on 9-11-2002.
Most Australians GET IT and this is one Texan who will never forget the courage and respect the Australian people and the Australian military have shown us. They've marched every step with us in this War on Terror . . . even when it wasn't popular at home to do so.
Sadly, even Australia has their Tom Daschles and Ted Kennedys . . . but John Howard hasn't blinked yet. Even now he's planning to send 450 more Australian troops to Iraq . . . and the lefties in Australia are roasting him for it. But Howard, like the majority of the Aussies, have cojones the size of beachballs and their dedication to an ally is UNMATCHED by any other country in the world.
My ultimate dream is to move to Australia one day . . . or at least visit for a year or so. I'm old and disabled so it's probably a pipe dream . . . but when one dreams one might as well dream high.
