My parents are today in Sydney attending a ceremony for a close family friend whose brother was killed while serving in Vietnam he was only 21, the brother had extended his tour to meet up with his father who was a senior army officer up there at the time. Tragically his death shattered the family and his mother took her own life and the father passed away soon after.

G'Day Beren,
That is a very sad story indeed and I have heard many, as a former soldier who was wounded while serving with the United Nations in the former Belgium Congo the 11th hour of the 11th day holds good and bad memories, I know that date is the official day to remember our dead who died in all wars, but I think off all my m8's every day, and I'll never forget.
