NSW, Australia
A C-130 crewed by three US volunteers has crashed in flames in the Snowy Mts, killing all three firefighters.

S and RIP. An ultimate sacrifice for others. We will remember them. Flags are at half-mast all over NSW.

These bloody fires keep on killing.

And his ghost may be heard if you pass by that billabong
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

Indeed. There are over 200 US firefighters who are assisting in this horrible wildfire situation in Australia.

It is such a tragedy.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Touching to see how much they have honored these men.
