Australian PM to US Sailors : "We fight together"
PRIME Minister John Howard has addressed about 300 sailors on board the US navy aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk, offering them a warm welcome to Sydney. Standing in front of a large US navy flag, The Navy Jack, Mr Howard spoke of the US navy's long association with Sydney."Australians and Americans have fought together in defence of freedom and against threats to our way of life on many occasions," he told the sailors. "We continued to do it today and work together around the world defending our way of life and fighting terrorism." Directly after the speech, Mr Howard spoke with a number of the sailors who surrounded him and responded to his speech with an enthusiastic round of applause. Posted by: Oztralian 2007-07-05 |
