Our Closest Friend

It has been said that countries don't have friends, only interests. I think that is wrong. Throughout the history of the United States many wars, one nation has joined with us time and time again to defeat out enemies. Of course, we were allies in WWI and WWII, but also in Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait/Iraq, Iraq & Afghanistan. But they serve by our side in hundreds of other smaller missions, too. And often, they take on the thankless job of peacekeeping missions that America needs done but, for political reasons, is unable to do.

So, on this Veterans Day, or as you call it, Remembrance Day, I say God Bless Australia, God Save the Queen, and may he remember all Australia's fallen heroes.
