Vietnam Veterans Day
Anthony CARBINES (Ivanhoe – Minister for Police, Minister for Crime Prevention, Minister for Racing) (09:49): Further can I just say that tomorrow marks Vietnam Veterans Day, the 50th anniversary. There will be national commemoratives services that will recognise the service of all Australians in the Vietnam War and honour the sacrifice that they and their families have made to this country. The Diamond Valley Vietnam Veterans, well known to many in this place, have done amazing work not only for our community and for our country but also with their ongoing support for the welfare of fellow veterans. To Jeff Freeman and the veterans liaison support team up at the Heidelberg repat, led ably by Rob Winther OAM – my thanks go to all of them for the work that they do.
