Family
Both grandfathers survived France in the first world war and father and his brother went to New Guinea only father returned, my name sake was killed on the Kokoda Trail. I missed on the Vietnam lottery but quite a few mates went and all came back sadly some were never the same person that they were before.
War is a terrible thing

so sad - my previous
so sad - my previous neighbour went to Vietnam, we would share a beer from time to time on a Sunday and it always saddened me to hear of how they were sometimes treated upon return - as he says (JB song) there were no D Day heroes in 1972
His name is Bob, he must be mid 80's now, he still drives a yellow truck and has a recycling run (bottles etc) if you see him (on the road or often at any given TAB!) give him a wave - absolute legend.

The only relative that I know
The only relative that I know that served was my uncle in Vietnam. He came home but died of cancer that was put down to the war we should never have gone to .
Remembrance day also has another meaning to me and my family , my dad passed away on 11 /11 at 11 pm 4 years ago , so for me it has a big meaning
RUSS and SANDY. A family that fishes together stays together
