let's keep ALL people in harm's way safe.
They have undertaken a significant sacrifice. 2 Australian soldiers killed recently - may they RIP. In Australia we have Returned Services League Clubs or RSL clubs. Anyone can join as you do not need to be a serviceman. Every night in every club in the land this is said in total silence.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them.

This will probably cause this thread to get moved to the political forum, but:
President George W. Bush could not see fit to be in D.C. today to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He was in Waco, Texas, jest up the road from his Crawford rainch, where he spoke at an American Legion post about the sacrifices Texas veterans have made.
I can't remember a single year in which the President of the United States did not perform this honored ceremony. Not once. Not Eisenhower, not Kennedy, not Johnson, not Nixon, not Ford, not Carter, not Reagan, not Dubya's daddy, not Clinton. Not one, not ever.
"Mission Accomplished".
