I'm bumping this up because you really should watch this. It may be an Australian soldier that made this 4 minute letter to home from Afghanistan- but I promise that its point is universal for every Soldier/ Marine.
Thanks for posting. it was a well done clip. I also clicked on your post-script youtube link. It, too was excellent, and now I'm having trouble sorting out the contrasting sounds and images in my mind!
Wishing all a wonderful Christmas.
In SEA the Aussies and Kiwis were some tough fighters. Had a professor in college that said the only ones that would stand for the US any time anywhere was Britain, Australia and New Zeeland. Things may have changed but I think NZ although very liberal knows where they stand.
