I'm sure that every Australian (of a certain vintage ;) )remembers the story. It wasn't until I just went and read the wikipedia bit that I realised that it was only a very short time that he was helping the others before he was killed. Somehow that fact never stuck in my head.leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562641539954768235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25336737.post-76084565437490178492007-03-05T09:37:00.000+11:002007-03-05T09:37:00.000+11:00Mick, yes, the Universal language that IS music!!!...Mick, yes, the Universal language that IS music!!! Rockin'all over the World hey, lol.<BR/> The ANZAC spirit lives in so many Aussies and New Zealanders, comeradery not only of soldiers and their families, but the subsequent generations who live with those affected in day to day life by war. The good that comes from it, if you can call it good, is that we band together and look after our mates. The bad, which is the legacy of it, is the ongoing emotional affect, Post Traumatic Disorders and the like. It saddens me when people don't understand PTA, then again, perhaps they were the "lucky ones" not to have witnessed such things in their families.<BR/> I am not sure there are too many families that were not touched in some way, or who din't know soemone who was in the WW1 or WW2 conflicts here in Australia.<BR/> The sound of the Last Post and the reading of the Going Down of the Sun Verse always brings me tears and shivers on our ANZAC Day and Rememberance Day. There you go, music again!!!!<BR/><BR/> MC, "...it is not honouring war, it is honouring the incredible bravery of ordinary people." You so hit the nail on the head there, I could not have said it better myself :)<BR/><BR/> Stewart, thanks so much for visiting, and I am glad you were moved by this :)<BR/><BR/> ~M, yes, do that, and make sure you take pics aswell :)<BR/><BR/> Meredith, yes, it is true, if we see tributes like this first hand it has got to show that we are respectful and remembering of our past history...that our past history is what happened, to allow us to be free in the now.Cazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25336737.post-3361542473287114032007-03-05T01:34:00.000+11:002007-03-05T01:34:00.000+11:00thank you for the wonderful history lesson. i thi...thank you for the wonderful history lesson. i think i would have enjoyed history class in school if we got to see cool stuff like that. you know?Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011160469058650004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25336737.post-46913143626795501332007-03-04T18:35:00.000+11:002007-03-04T18:35:00.000+11:00just beautiful!

I'm very glad to know that the same feeling we have here, also resides in Australia. What a wonder thing to have in common with somone on the other side of the world.<BR/>Glad to hear music is a big part in anyone's life. Another wonderful thing to share. Of course music crosses oceans and borders easier and much faster than we can!! By the way, I found you from Incoherent Ramblings.

Afterall, our freedom here is a result of what happened back in the day.<BR/> I have also aded you to my roll, I absolutely loved your post!!! Music rocks my world. Just last night I was at my mum's with 3 of my kids and one of her grandkids and we were rocking to Old Time Rock and Roll, Copperhead Road, and a bit of Fleetwood Mac.<BR/> They all played air guitar and we danced for ages, now that was my Saturday night!!!Cazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25336737.post-38946439120136123992007-03-04T11:47:00.000+11:002007-03-04T11:47:00.000+11:00ps(-->) I think you have a wonderful sight.

My 7 year old son is the3 creative one.
