You're welcome to them also, sister.   









Here's a few for you if you want them.









Best I can do on short notice.

I was down with my back yesterday and didn't get to do much, but I did offer some prayers for those serving now and those who have served in the past. I give thanks for them often, and I treasure the freedoms my family enjoys because of their service and sacrifice.

Here's a few more pictures.

Tolorah,

I hope that you can use some of these I posted. I have a large collection of patriotic graphics, but most of them are pretty specific to America. I've been collecting them for years, and they were all labeled free or public domain to use. So, help yourself and take whatever you wish.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Psalms 9:9-10 NASB  The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble;  And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Why thankyou....mostly yes they are American...even by saying "troops"....down here we mostly call them our "diggers" so troops doesnt really fit either!

[Soldier4Christ]

Yes I'm familiar with the term diggers. Those that were with us during Nam were proud to be called Troops also though. They realized it was a word that we use to show respect.

Tolorah,

You are most welcome. I learn something new all of the time about our friends in Australia. We've been together for a long time through some pretty hard times.

If I heard about the term "diggers", I don't remember. It's interesting how various terms are adopted and what they mean. I'll look around some and see if I can find some patriotic graphics that are specific to Australia. I might even be able to make one for you if you'll tell me what you want.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Brother, the term "Diggers" is used to describe Australian and New Zealand soldiers during the First World War. Diggers were seen to possess the characteristics of hardiness, the Australian and New Zealand (ANZAC) spirit, mateship and resourcefulness. The term is still used today as slang for an Australian soldier.

There are numerous theories about the origin of the term but it was not in wide use amongst soldiers until 1917. It was first applied to New Zealand troops before being adopted by the Australians as well. The term had been in wide use prior to the war on the Australian gold fields and New Zealand Kauri gum fields. 

General William Birdwood, on the evening of 25 April 1915, following the landing at Anzac Cove, which contained the postscript:

"P.S.—You have got through the difficult business, now you have only to dig, dig, dig, until you are safe."

While New Zealanders would call each other "Digger", all other nationalities, including Australians, tended to call them "Kiwis". The equivalent slang for a British soldier was "Tommy" from Tommy Atkins. However, while the Anzacs would happily refer to themselves as "Diggers", the British soldier generally resented being called "Tommy".

After all this, I need a cup coffee...........

Hello Dreamweaver,

Thanks Brother! That was a fascinating look back in history. It's really interesting to find out how many terms came into existence.

I usually don't drink coffee that glows in the dark, and there appears to be something odd about the server. I think that I've seen that server somewhere before.
