Cheers to all the women and men who defend our freedoms and the freedoms of others!
I'd like to take a moment to remember when the Australian army suffered a great loss. I even wrote a poem about it, just for you guys.
There were bullets in the air
Flashing about with flair
The enemy was swift and cunning
Their assault was quite stunning
Major Meredith was outnumbered
His truck with machine guns encumbered
Despite the fact they never flew
He could not best the great Emu

USAF here :P
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

highway of heros is a place in ontario where the fallen are flown into trenton army base and driven down the Trans Canada highway to the military burial grounds. Thats what the song is about. The people going out to ethe over passes to thank the soldiers for their duty, one that they volunteered for.
