A little bit about myself, I have a military background having enlisted in 1980 and serving some 23 years in the Australian Regular Army. When I enlist in the Army the majority of my Corporals, Sergeants, etc were Vietnam Veterans. Additionally, my father is a Vietnam Veteran having served with the 1st Battalion Group in 1965-66; as such I hold those who have served in Vietnam with the utmost respect.
I am a member of the following historical associations:
