We Will Remember Them
Today we remember the Anzacs of the first world war - and especially the Australian light horse who rode our heritage Brumby's into battle. One of those gallant men was my grandfather - who was also in the Boer War - and a proud man that always said "you fight for what is right and it is our right to keep our land Australia".
On the 11th of November 1918 was the end to what many called the "Great War" and on this day we remember those who paid the supreme sacrifice for this country.
As an ex-serviceman, [returned serviceman I dislike as all men and women who joining the armed services were directed under orders to battle or not to battle, this was out of the individuals control] as was my father and mentioned grandfather, it is a slap in the face when we that are left can see what government is doing with the heritage left by our forefathers. Should the courage of those WW2 servicemen and women not extended themselves for the salvation of this Australia, then these politician of sad credibility would not have existed under Japanese rule.
I would like to say to those radical greens, government bureaucrats and pathetic politicians - take one more minute silence after remembering our fallen. Consider the lies and unspeakable hardship you have bestowed on the rural community of this nation that our fallen will never forgive you for.
And to Mr Bracks, premier of Victoria, if you had done to your ancestors in Lebanon what you have done to mine in here Australia you would have now joined them.
