Just want to post my thanks to all veterans, and to all those in current military service. The United States owes each brave soldier its gratitude. It is my hope that in future all will receive the recognition they deserve, and that the medical care available to them will at last be commensurate with its need. In defense of this country, their duty, they are sent into harm's way: it is our duty to support them before, during, and afterwards. ---I myself am what could be described as a "pinko liberal": however, my wish that there existed no need for any military forces does not preclude my grasp of their necessity. I am proud to be the daughter of a decorated WWII veteran. Thanks, Dad.
And ditto to all the Aussies out there also. Unfortunately I had to work yesterday and couldn't make the ceromony Ed
