Lads,

As of tonight my Unit deploys on 'Ex' for a little while. I look forward to getting back on the site in within a few weeks or so.

But between now and then, things everywhere are most likely to change, as the SHTF, so those ARNG and Reserve members on the site who are gonna get called up, please stay safe, do your jobs, and where ever you are and where ever you go, may God bless you.

I wish you nothing but a speedy victory, and remember, the whole world is watching.

For the regular members, the same goes for you too.

Watch your back!! See ya soon[:D]

Good luck and Godspeed.

Coooeeee!

We have answered the call.

Please remember, Australia will always be eternally greatful for your assistance to us, in the fight against Japan. Without you we were sure to be invaded in the north. So, over 55 yrs on, you are asking for a little help.

Our government has promised military forces for the cause as required. Our Defence Force is not big, but we have earned the reputation from the Turks, Germans, Japs, VC, and NVA, plus others such as the TNI and Boganvillians, of not only being truly a tenacious, determined force, but aprofessional, and dedicated Army.

From the Crimea to Long Tan, and from The Nek to Kakoda and from places like Passchendeale, even to the recent Somalia and East Timor, we have answered the call, and we will be there for this one too.

Fuck, I am rambling! But I am sure you get my drift. It is so pleasant to see your country come together in such a most trying time.

Sure we may have our larikanisms, and our way of even making something bad look good, but as the sons and grandsons of ANZAC, we still carry the torch, and in time will hand that torch on to the next generation of young Australians.

I am Australian, but born in Canada. My grandmothers on both side were born in Saginaw, Michigan and in a small place called Ardoc, North Dakota.

I know I have cousins and second cousins I have never met, but whoever they are, and where ever they live in America, I am sure they back the USA 100% I think I even grew a few cm's watching that speech. It was wonderful. I am glad I was there to watch history in the making!

Gotta go!
