And they have been so for a long time, Fossil. My uncle had to spend a year convalescing in NZ before the Marines would even think of sending him home; he was that badly hurt on Guadalcanal. Anyway, he never could say enough good about the Kiwis who took care of him. One of the best times in his life was when his wife and he went there, in the 1980s, to revisit the folks he knew in that year as a "temporary" Kiwi.

ChanteyLass, glad you liked it, too.:-)
