melty1: i'd like to thank the Aboriginals that also were service men and women. That were not recognized for their contribution at all. They were not considered citizens! My Ex's Grandfather served in the army and was not allowed to even drink in a pub with his army mates who he fought side by side with. [/b]It was sad, but Aboriginal people are moving forward and creating great status now! Thanks again! If there was A Nunga Flag on here I would put it up!

Wow.That was. comfort

....A bit similar situation to what happen to the Maoris here in New Zealand,a very brave and noble race of people I have generally found,and my two dearest and closet Friends are Maori....but there bravery was recognized very early on during the war....But I pretty sure they weren't allowed to drink in Pubs during the War....Like aboriginals...they have made leaps and bounds as well....and proud of it.....well said handshake thumbs up peace
