    Default 35 for Tasmanian Vietnam Vets

    OK, these are some of the 35 bound for Van Diemans Land (Tasmania) that foreign overseas land!!!, nevertheless, they too honoured Australia, and we in turn want to remember them.
    .
    Some of these are from DonP and some are from other Forumites who donated earlier in the year for the Vets, a big thanks to all. Amos

    Thanks Amos and well done to all that supplied pens to Amos. I will be sending more to Tasmania soon and other Vietnam Veterans communities will keep you all informed. There is still plenty of time to donate Long Tan Day is in Ausgust.

    phew, August ... for some reason I thought it was July and I was beginning to panic. Off to Africa in a week and the "to do" job list is longer than the days left - including about 200 school reports to write!!! Providing I am not eaten by a lion I can do them when I get back and will send the Crows Ash blurbs as well.

    PS Nice card from the Padre

    Glad to report that the claim I made on Australia Post for the missing pens has been successful and I have a money order fro Graham aka Grommett for $50 plus postage. This s the maximum payment we can get under the system. Thank you Australia Post for compensating us
