    Report 
  • I finally got to Vietnam Dad and saw where you all fought. The place that ultimately killed you. So peaceful now. Your camp is barely visible but I could still imagine you all there. Knowing you, I'm sure there was much laughter and joking around. A salute to you all who fought there. I laid flowers at the memorial on behalf of all of us... Mum, Kirsten, myself and Justin ..the last post playing in the background. You were right, it is a beautiful place in peace time. I'm sorry you never got to see that. Cheers to you this ANZAC day. Love always D
