Most of them were so young - only boys with their whole lives ahead of them. Yet, they didn't hesitate to do what was needed, and so many paid with their lives.<br /><br />I could cry for their families, too, as I think how I would feel if it was my son going off to war.<br /><br />Yes, we are thankful for these brave men and women, and so thankful that we've have not had to experience the same. Unfortunately, too many of our young folk are yet again involved in war.<br /><br />May God bless them all and keep them safe.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-1169479439617576792007-01-23T01:23:00.000+10:002007-01-23T01:23:00.000+10:00It is good to be reminded of our past, to be broug...It is good to be reminded of our past, to be brought out of our nice little safe cocoon we have wrapped around us, to remember those who helped to make us safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-1169416127036041242007-01-22T07:48:00.000+10:002007-01-22T07:48:00.000+10:00Jelly,Incredible, the sacrifice made.

I've lived in some of the world's biggest cities, and that's why I chose to live in a buclic, rustic village.

He was up in Darwin, not in Papua New Guinea. Thank God for those brave men who kept the Japanese army out of Darwin and the rest of your (my) country. <BR/>It's good to be educated in the history of the battles they fought so hard to win. I'd like to see that movie.
