And you know Kimberely we all love Americans! You may not always be right, but you have an ethic in fighting for the underdog that no other nation has.
During World War 2 Europe was being devoured by Germany and Britain had just lost two of it's capital ships in the Pacific...the 'Prince of Wales' and the 'Repulse'. The only thing that kept the opposing sides apart was the English Channel in Europe and The Owen Stanley Ranges in New Guinea for us.
The then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill requested that Australia should fall to the Japanese so that the fighting forces could be better deployed on the home front supporting England!
My father was stationed in Milne bay when the American arrived....and did they arrive! You guys moved in more manpower and might in a week than we could have mustered in a year, and you fought with us and you saved us from a very unpredictable future.
You didn't have to do that.....but you did.
We don't forget our friends, your battles are our battles, and if America fights a war on Mars, we'll be there behind you, it may be a token effort, but we will be there.
I no doubt don't speak for every Australian, but I do speak for the bulk of us!
Cheers.....Rob
