They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest we forget
To all Australians and New Zealanders serving overseas - in Afghanistan, Iraq, East Timor, Bougainville, the Solomon Islands, Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Ethiopia/Eritrea, Sudan and Darfur....... be safe.
My friend Lance Corporal Shannon McAliney who died in Somalia in 1993, I still think about you mate.
Lest we forget.
