I think Aussies are our closest relatives, and I just love 'em!!!

(When I was a kid, flip-flops were called "thongs," too.)

I remember at least 2 things about Vietnam:

The Aussies were staunch allies in our effort over there. They lost 520 of their own troops.

We called flip-flops “Ho Chi Minh sandals.” In more lucid moments, we called ‘em “Gook Scooters.”
