Lest we forget
I am a defence spouse and very proud of my husband and his mates whether they're in the colours of the army; airforce or navy.
My former father in law (RIP Bobby) was carried down the Kakoda track and would never talk about what he heard and saw. Come Anzac Day he would retreat for a few days into a dark place.
God forbid I may ever know the grief of losing anyone in some god forsaken hell hole.
