“Their friends were very upset, but not surprised,” one law enforcement source said of David Koenig, 33, of Ridgewood, Queens and Ellen O’Meara, 30, of Park Slope.

“It’s almost as if from the first day these two people met,” about a year ago, “they knew they were going to die together.”

Koenig and O’Meara were found dead at 7 p.m. Thursday in their room at Yotel New York.

They tried to…

Watch Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Soldier Miles Teller in ‘Thank You for Your Service’ (Trailer) with Amy Schumer & Haley Bennett

I was a good soldier, I had purpose and I loved it.” ‘Thank You for Your Service’ is a look at how Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects American servicemen and women returning home from war.

The Irish tricolour flutters in Perth Western Australia. (Image ©thesilvervoice)

Something very special happens when you turn a corner 15,000 kilometers from home to see the Irish tricolour fluttering in a stiff breeze! Such was my experience yesterday as I attended a wreath laying event at Western Australia’s State War Memorial in King’s Park in Perth.

Regular readers will be aware of my journey of discovery of tragic Co.Tipperary man Martin O’Meara, winner of a Victoria Cross while in the service of the Australian Imperial Force in World War 1. See earlier posts here and here.

The Western Australia State War Memorial is dramatically located on Mount Eliza which overlooks Perth Water and consists of a main obelisk and a Court of Contemplation that includes the Eternal Flame.

Irishman Martin O’Meara V.C is included on these plaques.

The Irish Minister of State in the Department of Justice and Equality, David Stanton was over from Ireland for St Patrick’s festivities and joined members of the RSLWA  (Returned & Services League of Western Australia) in honouring the State’s War Dead by laying a wreath at the eternal flame. This was followed by the laying of a wreath at the plaque in honour of Martin O’Meara V.C.  Minister Stanton,who was accompanied by Mr. Marty Kavanagh – Honorary Consul of Ireland, Western Australia, co-incidentally is the public representative for my constituency of East Cork, Ireland.

The beautifully simple ceremony was attended by people with an interest in matters Irish, and was facilitated by the former soldiers of the RSLWA, many of whom I believe had served in Vietnam. They looked resplendent in their medals and uniforms.

  The Last Post is sounded…always a poignant moment!

It is really heartwarming that so many emigrants from Ireland and their descendants remain very proud of their roots and celebrate, commemorate and honour  fellow countrymen whenever the occasion arises. The Irish Community in Western Australia is particularly active in this way!
