Nice montage. We usually wear a poppy on memorial day which represents the blood spilts in battle. Poppys in European legend grew from the blood spilt from a killing. I don't think memorial day was ever meant to be war mongering or promoting war, but rather remembering those that were sacrificed for the sake of war, for better or worse. I mean, they have to obey orders. Many of them are from 18-21 years of age which makes their deaths even more sad.
There is "And the Band Played Maltzing Matilda", and Redgum's "I was only 19" (Vietnam) and others that I don't know who wrote. I'll send a few attachments in the mail.
thank you

I'd like to see a patriotic video from Australia... aren't there images from the past there and a song that could be used?
