How come the Aussies get to fly their country's flag and we don't!

Appreciate the bump, Kehoe. Having just returned from our Anzac Day dawn service, these soldiers' skill at arms, and our zero casualties in this war make Australians even more grateful today. Very best regards, Byron

great story!
Australia has always been dear to my family. My grandfather was stationed there in WWII, on McArthur's staff. He was in charge of the lend-lease program.
Family suspicions (quietly) have it that he borrowed more than a few Aussie charms...

These guys did a tremendous job. The Aussies can be rightly proud of their contribution to a Free Iraq and I understand they are still contributing by sending an expert in agriculture to help the Iraqis get their farming techniques up to par.

Hoisting one on behalf of our buds.....aka mates.........from Down Under. Glad they're on our side; proud to be with 'em.

How come the Aussies get to fly their country's flag and we don't!I don't think they had imbedded TV reporters flashing their pictures everytime they did something. They were able to be a little more discreet about it.

Thanks for the story!
And a big thank you to the Aussies!
One of my few regrets was not rewarding myself with an Australian TDY, when I had the chance. It was a highly coveted TDY and best used as a reward, but still...
Thank you Australia, we appreciate your help!
Someday, I hope to visit your country, and perhaps shake a few hands and say thanks in person.

Australia.
On the other side of the planet, but far closer than Canada. Go figure.

I think they can borrow the phrase "Mess with best -- Die with the rest."

Great pic, Oyez! Thank you for posting it.
Coincidentally, we spent the Easter holidays with my great-uncle at his farm out west. He fought in the Western Desert, like the men in the picture, and is a very droll type, who often produces Strine gems (he's 86 years old.) I mentioned Schroeder's perfidy (on Iraq) to him, and he said, 'bloody Huns, eh? They used to pay me six bob a day to shoot 'em!' ('Six bob', or six shillings, was his pay rate at the time.) Regards, By
