During my years with the Australian Lighthorse, these words come to mind...........

--------------------

Go, live as men live, or die as men die!

In the front of the battle be heard your war cry!

Let the grey emu plumes wave aloft with renown!

Or be found on the field where the bravest went down!



A. Meston

------------------------

The above words from a war almost 100 yrs ago, yet war is war and the only thing that changes is the technology.

Rest in Peace Sarge.

It was on CTV, too, but it was buried a bit in the Toronto local news, I think. (I'm away from home so I get all Canadian news via the Internet.) The Haiti disaster sucks all the news oxygen out of the room.
