I wonder why U.S news channels never mention that Australian and New Zealand firefighters are on their way to help Americans fight the fires on the West Coast of the U.S?

Some 40 or so of our guys are headed for the U.S fires and it would be gratifying if the U.S media mentioned their contribution in the past and right now.

We are a small nation with a big heart and it wouldn’t hurt to express appreciation for our help, would it?

It’s what ‘mates’ do, help one another, and acknowledge that help.
