A small request to members
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian government has cut orders for another 200 Australian soldiers to head to Afghanistan, as part of ongoing operations.
As we have always done, as we always will, we stand with the United States and her allies. This year, another 200 of our sons and daughters will saddle up for overseas service, walking in harms way..and in doing so, continue a proud tradition.
Europe, New Guinea, Indonesia, East Timor,the Gulf,Tobruk, El Alamein, Iraq, Afghanistan....names of distant places where the Aussie Digger has served with distinction, and honour,and courage.
Please remember them in your prayers in the months ahead, as we here will watch,and pray, looking forward to the day they come home to a grateful nation.
-Sonnabend.
Prayers for our all our Southern Cross Cousin's safety.
Sending prayers for their safety and success.
May God protect these noble warriors and bring them home safely to their loved ones. Bless them Father, for they take up a burden you have placed before them to bring freedom and protection to your children in Afghanistan.
