25 April - ANZAC Commemoration Day

[Bob's World]

Was at the Pentagon all week, and the main hall on the inner ring as you come in from the metro there was a great display to the ANZUS relationship. Arguably our strongest ally, and certainly the populace we have the most in common with.

Hell, if it wasn't for us giving the Poms the finger and thereby forcing them to find a new continent to dump their riffraff on, Australia would still just be a twinkle in England's eye! Here's to a couple of countries made up of another's castoffs that has done alright for itself! I caught an Anzac day in Sydney myself, and it was a great experience. The Aussies have never walked away from a friend in need, and have paid a hard price for that loyalty. Glad we're on the same team.

I'll never fully understand why you all have Bundy and Coke on tap everywhere, but I lift a 4X Gold to my Aussie mates!
