    Today for the first time the Vietnam Veterans will lead the ANZAC Day March.
    My father RIP did four active tours of duty in WW2. Air Force. War leaves an indelible pain and comrades are lifelong friends.
    Today I dedicate this to those dudes who were Jetgun inoculated for Vietnam service and now fight against HepC as a result. There is a guy at my liver clinic who had that happen he is absolutely lovely and clear now from getting an early trial of DAAs. This is Australia :)
    My wish is for free tx for them all.

    “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
    We will remember them.”

    Beautiful post Ariel #love

    My father served in WW2 as well, he drove Matilda Tanks in New Guinea.

    He’s one of the few still alive, he turns 93 next month & still going strong, but can’t march anymore.
    He still is with my mum & gets up at 6 every morning & makes her tea !! :P has for the past around 70 years of marriage!!

    Today my hubby took some vets to the dawn service here in Sydney, then visited a clinic for war vets suffering from post war psyche problems,
    He cheers them up. :)
    We have great respect for war vets.

    I agree, all the vets should get free tx.
