Please visit the links and learn something about one of your Allies who as I speak is now commiting more troops to Iraq to fill the void and role the Dutch Army was supposed to be doing.

Lest We Forget.

AZZA, I was stationed aboard the USS Epperson in 1965, we pulled R&R in Australia during Anzac. I was also there, on another occasion, for the Coral Sea celebration. I wish you could send me a middi of Tooheys Old.

I must be gettin' old, make that a Schooner.

YOUR COUNTRY CAN WELL BE PROUD OF THEIR FIGHTING FORCES AND THANKS TO YOUR GROUND AND AIR FORCES FOR THE SUPPORT YOU GUYS GAVE US AND THE U.S. DURING THE 'NAM CONFLICT. WE SINCERELY APPRECIATED IT.

I STILL THINK THE CANBERRA WAS A NEAT AIRCRAFT, LOW AND SLOW AND THE GROUND POUNDERS LOVED IT.

I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE DOG YELLER AND VISITED YOUR COUNTRY. I WAS SCHEDULED TO ONCE BUT WE HAD A BIG WHOOP DEE DO AND MY R&R OR AS WE USED TO CALL IT I&I WAS CANCELLED. NEVER GOT THE CHANCE AGAIN.

YOUR COUNTRY HAS A LONG AND BRAVE TRADITION AND YOU CAN BE JUSTLY PROUD.

I STILL LIKE THE BOONIE HATS. WE USED TO WEAR THEM WHEN WE WERE OFF THE BASE, JUST FOR THE MEANNESS.

BE SAFE MY BROTHER.

Dog yeller I'll see how much it costs to send ya a 6 pack of Tooheys Old. I myself hate it when you cant find Aussie beer overseas.:D

Thanks Mate.

This page on ordering a beer in Australia is pretty funny.
