Vietnam Veterans Day

Vietnam Forces National Memorial, Canberra 

Today is Vietnam Veterans Day and also marks 53 years since the Battle of Long Tan. 

The Battle of Long Tan: 105 Australians and 3 New Zealanders vs. 1500-2500 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. This remains as one of the most significant battles during the Vietnam War in Australian military history.

I understand the controversies around the Vietnam War and am fully aware of the poor treatment our Vietnam Veterans received after it.

I will always honour those who served and the 521 Australians who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for fighting for my family's freedom.

Lest We Forget.

Lots o' Love, Linda

Anzac Day 2018

Australian War Memorial x Westfield Sydney exhibition 

Today, we commemorate all of our soldiers. Not only do we honour the original ANZACs who were involved in the Gallipoli campaign during the First World War, but also all of our service personnel involved in the wars thereafter. This also includes our Indigenous, women, ethnic minorities and our four-legged heroes such as horses and dogs. We will always remember them. 

LEST WE FORGET 

Lots o' Love, Linda
