I spent the last year of my Secondary schooling year expressing my opposition to Australia's involvement in the war in Vietnam (All Draft, No Vote), "wagged" school (first time) to attend the Melbourne Moratorium march, arrested at 17 for supporting Paul Fox, ride motorcycles with three "Vets", (whom I love dearly) that still require a daily hug, watch them try to deal the mess in Vietnam that they consider theirs, still struggle with being here and alone, and we sit at home and wait for the next generation of Vets to come home.
We really have a long way to go.
Greg.
