Australia. War song. Australia remembers. Australian flag. Australian war memorial song. In 1914, the First World War started in Europe. Australia joined in on the side of Britain and France, against Germany. Australian soldiers were sent to Gallipoli, in Turkey. They fought bravely, but were beaten by the Turks. Today Australia remembers this battle every year on ANZAC Day. They also fought in France and Belgium. More than 60,000 Australians were killed in the war. In 1939 the Second World War broke out. Again Australia joined in to help Britain. But in 1941 Japan attacked Australia, and Australians had to fight close to home for the first time. Many people feared that Japan would invade Australia. But with help from the United States, the Japanese were stopped. After the war, Australia became a close friend of the United States. When the war ended, Australia felt that it needed many more people to fill the country up and to work. So the government said it would take in people in Europe who had lost their homes in the war. Over the next 25 years, millions of people came to Australia. They came from Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, Poland and other countries in Europe. Later they also came from countries like Turkey and Lebanon. In the 1960s the White Australia Policy was ended. Many people came to Australia from China, Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries in Asia. Some Australians began to think of their country as being a part of Asia for the first time. But other Australians did not like this and said that Australia should keep its European character. In the 1960s and 1970s Australia became one of the richest countries in the world, because it could mine a lot of iron and other things from the ground that other countries wanted to buy. Companies from United States and Europe came to Australia to increase their profits, and many Australians got jobs with them. Australia also supported the United States in wars in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. Some Australians protested against these wars. Australia's democracy meant that both sides could say what they thought. Today Australia is a rich, peaceful and democratic country. The remains of three Australian servicemen killed in action in Vietnam have finally returned home. In April 2007 the burial sites of Lance Corporal Parker and Private Gillson were discovered by members of Operation Aussies Home and their remains have now been returned to Australia. Lance Corporal Parker and Private Gillson had been members of A Company 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment (1 RAR). In 1965 - 66 1 RAR formed the third battalion of 173d Airborne Brigade. They were killed on 8 November 1965. Lance Corporal Gillespie became the third Australian MIA in Vietnam to be found this year by veterans' group Operation Aussies Home, 36 years after being killed in combat. His remains have now returned home. Lance Corporal Gillespie was a medical orderly aboard an Australian Army helicopter sent to rescue a wounded South Vietnamese soldier in an area known as the Long Hai Hills. As the wounded man was being winched aboard the helicopter it was hit by machine gun fire, crashed to the ground and exploded. The pilots escaped but Lance Corporal Gillespie, who was pinned under the wreckage, and three other soldiers died. Thanks to Barry in Canada for the Australian flag animation.

MY MIX FROM MISIEK MOVIE SHOW footage from 2005 to 2008 misiekakpl@o2.pl LUDZIE PRZEMYSŁU Music: AZ - THE FORMAT ( Hip-Hop) HQ LINK: http://rapidshare.com/files/97055750/65_CD_D.rar NUMBER: 21 HIGHLIGHTS / VIDEOS Biogrpahy: Chris Nicholas Duhon (born August 31, 1982, in Mamou, Louisiana) is an American professional basketball player for the Chicago Bulls of the NBA. Duhon was a guard for the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team from 2000 to 2004. In his senior year at Salmen High School in Slidell, Louisiana, Duhon was voted Mr. Basketball for the state of Louisiana, made the McDonald's All-American Team, and won the McDonald's Three Point Shootout. Duhon arrived at Duke in 2000, where he was an important role player, playing backup to point guard Jason Williams. Following the injury of fellow teammate Carlos Boozer, Duhon was placed into the starting lineup as point guard, with Williams moving to shooting guard. The Duke Blue Devils went on to win the 2001 National Championship, and Duhon was named the 2001 Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman of the Year. His sophomore season, Duhon again started in the Duke backcourt alongside fellow guard Jason Williams. That season, Duhon's reputation grew for his defense, court vision, and versatility as a point guard, averaging 2.3 steals per game, and 5.9 assists per game. From his junior season on, Duhon became an instrumental leader for the Blue Devils. In the 2002-2003 season, he led a young Duke team to the Sweet 16, and averaged 9.2 points, 6.4 assists, and 2.2 steals per game and was among the top 10 assists leaders in NCAA Division I history. In his senior season, Duhon averaged 10 points, 6 assists, 2.2 steals and 4.1 rebounds per game, en route to another Final Four. Duhon finished his career as Duke's all-time leader in steals (300) and minutes played (4,813), and second in assists (819). He had one of Duke's top assists to turnover ratios as well. In Duhon's four years, Duke compiled a 123-21 record, making Duhon the second winningest player in Duke and Atlantic Coast Conference history, behind Duke's Shane Battier (131 wins). He helped the Blue Devils win three ACC Championships. Duhon was a finalist for the 2004 Wooden Award, the Naismith Award, and Rupp Trophy awards. He left as the only Atlantic Coast Conference player to record 1,200 points, 800 assists, 475 rebounds, 300 steals, and 125 three-point shots. In June 2004, Duhon was selected as the 38th pick in the 2004 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls. In his rookie season with the Bulls, Duhon played in all 82 games, averaging 5.9 points and 4.9 assists per game.[3] Duhon's best game in his rookie year was against the Atlanta Hawks. Duhon led the Bulls in a comeback against the Hawks, where they trailed at the half. Duhon hit 8 of 9 three-point field-goals in the game, scoring 24 points. This was a franchise record before Ben Gordon, a fellow 2004 draft pick, hit 9 threes the following season. The Bulls re-signed Duhon for the 2005-06 season. In the 2005-2006 season, Duhon averaged 8.7 points per game and 5.0 assists per game. In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, Duhon's Stand Tall Foundation handed out over 3,000 boxes of supplies worth $450,000 for residents of his hometown Slidell.In January 2007, Duhon was suspended one game by the Bulls for missing practice the day prior because he claimed he overslept. Duhon played a key role in the Bulls winning their first playoff series since the Michael Jordan era against the Miami Heat. The Bulls swept the Heat four games to zero. Duhon provided key minutes as the sixth man in the series against Miami, where he played more minutes because of the foul trouble Kirk Hinrich was plagued with throughout the series. Duhon did not play in Game 3 of the Bulls series against the Pistons because of a missed film session. After the Bulls fell in a 3-0 hole, a deficit no team has come back from in the NBA Playoffs, Duhon has played solidly off the bench. He hit a key three-pointer in Game 4 that forced the lead to 23 points. In a relatively easy Game 5 win, Duhon scored 8 points off of 2 threes and a driving lay-up.
