ADF - Australian Defence Force - War heroes remembrance song. You can download a free mp3 file of the song. Also, free music sheets available for commemorative purposes. Email: peterbarnes@australianwarheroes.com Australian Defence Force tribute. The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of Australia. It consists of the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army, Royal Australian Air Force and a number of 'tri-service' units. News from Associated Press 8th June 2010 - Two Australian soldiers were killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) in southern Afghanistan, the worst fatalities the country has suffered in a single day during military deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, an official said Tuesday. The men were among a total of 10 International Security Assistance Force troops, including seven Americans, killed in separate attacks on Monday on the deadliest day of the year for foreign forces in Afghanistan. A U.S. civilian contractor who trains Afghan police also died in a brazen suicide assault. It was the first multiple fatalities Australia has suffered in a day in either Afghanistan or Iraq, Acting Defense Force Chief Lt. Gen. David Hurley told reporters in the capital Canberra. The deaths bring Australia's casualty toll in Afghanistan to 13 since 2001. Combat engineers Darren Smith and Jacob Moerland died after their foot patrol was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) as they returned to base in the Mirabad Valley region of Uruzgan province. The ADF have an average strength of 51,151 permanent (full-time) and 19,464 reserve (part-time) personnel. The Army is the largest service, followed by the RAAF and RAN. Australians see service in Iraq, Afghanistan, East Timor and a number of peacekeeping operations. Australian troops are also referred to as diggers. An 'aussie digger' is often used in regard to an Australian soldier. Australia has a proud military history based on the ANZAC tradition of mateship, courage and sacrifice. Those that serve today continue that proud tradition. Many Australians who lost their lives in war weren't thinking they could save the world or defeat evil regimes. As in the trenches of France, and the patrols in Vietnam, or on the Kokoda Track, Australians were looking after their mates alongside them. Many Australian veterans march on ANZAC Day in memory of their mates left behind, and the ones that have passed on before them. Australia's latest casualty of war, SAS soldier Sergeant Matthew Locke, was more concerned about looking after his mates than fearing for his life. Sergeant Locke, who died after being shot in the chest during a firefight with Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, told a reporter that "looking after the blokes with you" was his key responsibility. Private Luke Worsley, 26, of the 4RAR commando unit in Sydney, has been killed in action. He is the third Australian to be killed in afghanistan in recent times. Can You Hear Australia's Heroes Marching? is a national war memorial song and a tribute to the ANZAC spirit of mateship, courage, and sacrifice. The song is timeless and honours the memory of those who have died in the service and defence of Australia in war. The marching theme of the song is especially powerful and supports the spirit of ANZAC Day. The song does not glorify war or endorse conflict of any kind. The song simply highlights the sacrifice of many Australians who died in the service and defence of our country in war.
The song has been used for commemorative purposes across Australia by schools, churches, choirs, bands, councils, retirement homes, RSL branches and ANZAC tributes at NRL & AFL matches. Radio stations throughout Australia have broadcast the song leading up to ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. The song is also requested to be played at funerals (for veterans).

I have to say: no matter how big, small, rag tag, professional, well-organised...an army, navy, airforce is - the men and women within; do a job, few on here could stand up and do. Some sacrifice their lives, others lose limbs, mates, partners and their sanity, all for the sake of protecting their countrymen. I dare all those who can come on the internet and criticise the members of this PROUD and PROFESSIONAL Defence Force, to sacrifice what they have, for reasons they often cannot explain.
