    This happened obviously in 2018 but was unaware of it...I liked the LOGO straight away...This is cool AF.
    The Brits are masters of pomp and ceremony, but the North Americans have their own style...Just as good IMO just different (As it should be).
    Seeing American and Australians standing together put a lump in my throat...No one has stood by the US more than Australia. The Brits are our family...But the US is our best mate. We don't let mates fight alone...Even if they can handle it alone.
    At the beginning the services songs was sung...Wow how cool is the US Air Force song!? This is just the first verse:

    "Wild Blue Yonder"

    Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
    Climbing high into the sun;
    Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
    At ‘em now, Give 'em the gun!
    Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
    Off with one helluva roar!
    We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
    Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

    "We live in fame or go down in flame." - Thats just kick arse.

    And thought of USMC Price when the Marine song was sung...Did you know the AFL team the Adelaide Crows use the tune for their team song?



    Here tis...


    And something for Takao...
