AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I think this is a great way to remember the ships that fought in war. Love that picture. Have a great day.
I have never heard of a "swivel link" - I wonder what it is used for? I've got McLinky working now, please come back and sign in when you have a minute!
