Hey TBella

I really feel for these guys (and girls) as they were only recently allowed in the Anzac day March...I think...please correct me if I have that wrong.

TBella, brilliant thread.

Massive respect for those men and women who have served in conflict zones.

Courage personified.

Much respect to your father.

Hi Paul

My dad use to March at Anzac Day in the 90s. I marched for him, in honour of him the year after he died.

they didn't get any recognition until the 90s- a plague with all their names on it but get this,he had to pay $100 for it!! disgraceful!!!

my heart goes out to them & their families- their families paid the price also.

I personally wish I could meet every Vietnam Vet, shake them by the hand & say thank you to them & put on a big thank you party for them, since they never got a warm welcome home.

Im really sorry that your dad passed..I just didnt have the guts to ask.

And you marched for him........to say that you are a legend would be an understatement....Bless your wonderful heart TBella

It makes me sad to read that he had to pay for a plaque with his name on it........grrrr

Im not being negative....just respectful...

Hugs and Respect for you

Paul
