*What a shock..
Austrailians would honor a fallen Royal Ranger before his own..
I happen to know Anzac forces also served, and don't know how many
were lost, to defend the freedom of the people of So.Viet-Nam to
determine their own destiny.
Some would call it a "Lost cause" while others would consider it nobel.
That's the interesting twist of the privledged, to be alive to judge the
event.
Every Royal Ranger today was not yet born when the nation fell and our
troops withdrew. But if we join hands at the close of a meeting, and
then are called away..
We expect we will return.... *I expected my friend to return, and sadly
he did not. I expected others would remember him, and now the job
perhaps is shared by your boys, because of this award.
God richly bless you Commander Adrian!
