More off to war.

[gajinoz]

Another 450 Australian soldiers are on their way to Iraq.

This probably doesn't get reported anywhere else in the world so I thought I'd mention it here. We're still there, still doing our bit.

Here's hoping they all return safely.

 

[Steve Hayden]

I wish them well and hope they return unscathed.

And a bend of the elbow to them as well.

 

[Ken C.]

I raise a glass of Foster's to our Aussie brothers-in-arms. Godspeed and a safe return.

 

[Esav Benyamin]

I hope they have a good trip and a safe return!

 

[Ren the devils trailboss]

Thank God for our friends in Oz...

 

[Temper]

Hey, dont forget us Limeys!

 

[Mike Hull]

I wish them good luck, good hunting, and a safe return. Thanks!!

Yeah, yeah! Limeys too!!

 

[Mellow Chaos]

Major props to Limeys AND Ozzies!

I'll bet none of the Aussies are as cute as her!

To all allied soldiers: "Happy return."

For the Aussies, and for all other Allied troops in Iraq and in Afghanistan, as well as over both of those unhappy nations:

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly
And those who on the ocean ply;
Be with our troops upon the land,
And all who for their country stand:
Be with these guardians day and night
And may their trust be in Thy might.
Author Unknown (1955)
To the tune of the Navy Hymn

May God bring your men home safely, as well as all others.

Our thanks to them men for going...to Australia for bringing them up...and to Gaj for letting us know.
And Gaj, if there's any way to write to the guys to come back in a bad way, let us know about that too.

Nahhh... our guys don't have time to be wandering around flower collecting, they are too busy waiting for the bad guys to come along.
