Have a shot of Vodka on us Australia.

I know Aussie boys are patrolling along side Americans in Iraq. We know who are friends are. We will not forget.

Please convey our thanks to as many Australians as you can. Especially any whose sons are in Iraq. They are making the world a better place for my children.

Thankyou. I will be at the parade in Ipswich (town closest to RAAF Amberley, our largest Australian Airforce base) when they welcome home the Iraqui Aircraft controllers and other crew in October... to be followed by an Amberley Air Show.

The last Amberley Air Show was scheduled for October 2001, but as soon as those towers fell I knew it was all off.

As a member of an airforce family in an airforce town, I'll be there, and be giving my thanks to the many who have fought in both wars since 9/11...
