This was written directly after watching the movie "Battle of Long Tan".  A film based on the Vietnam war where approximately 108 Australian and New Zealand Soldiers up against approximately 2000 to 2500 Vietnamese soldiers.  The battle took place in a rubber plantation near long tan.  It's a must watch film for all to understand just what those soldiers went through. This is my tribute to those soldiers and all soldiers past and present who have put their lives on the line for us who are so fortunate to be hear,
