No doubt many of them wondered what in the world they were doing there, and wished only to return home. No doubt many soldiers today feel the same way.

I am an Australian blogger, who chose to write a poem connecting to the spirit of all those who soldier in foreign lands and those who must soldier on at home alone. The poem acknowledges the enforced suffering, but in no way condones war. <a href="http://greyscaleterritory.blogspot.com/2008/04/anzac-fires-still-burn.html" rel="nofollow">The ANZAC fires still burn</a> Love visiting your website!
