Yep without the "Invaders" who made Australia what it is, it would not be what it is today. In particular those who died fighting and defending our country.
The U.S. Marines kicked the Japanese’ s asses on numerous Pacific Islands, chiefly Guadalcanal, Glouster, an New Britain, and saved the Aussies asses in ‘42 and ‘43.
Fact!
That is who the Aussies ought to have thanked…
The U.S. Marines.
Happy Australia Day, Aussies. Yarra Man; And be proud of Australia and be proud of those who made it great and those who died defending it, for without them, we would just be another Pacific backwater!
