Sorry about the lack of posting but soon I will be off to USA and then back home to NZ, yay!!

We will remember them.

" Those heroes that shed their blood
and lost thier lives...
you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country
therefore rest in peace.
there is no difference between the johnnies
and the mehmets to us where they lie side by side
here in this country of ours...
you the mothers,
who sent their sons from far away countries
wipe away your tears.
your sons are now lying in our bosom
and are in peace.
after having lost there lives on this land they have
become are sons as well"
