Dear David, You are correct that Flanders Field is WWI vintage. I
should have said Normandy instead of Flanders. In whatever country,
England, France, Belgium, and from what ever war they are still
dead American Soldiers, buried overseas because they were fighting
for someone else's freedoms.
Australia has been one of America's staunchest allies. Your
country's soldiers have served along side our soldiers for nearly 100
years - it is not that long now until it will be 100 years since
WWI. We can never be grateful enough for all that you have given in
the name of freedom for all.
Best Regards,
Carol Melton

Dear Friends,
We may have come kicking and
screaming into the WWII but come we did and at what a price. Think
Flanders Fields....
I'm not going to write another thing about wars after this, being a
veteran
myself. However, Flanders Fields was in fact World War 1, when
Australia
lost an entire generation of men - more than any other country.
