Vietnam Veterans Day
Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (09:42): Last year Vietnam veterans in Seymour thought they had held their final service. With numbers dwindling and most now in their 80s, they felt they could no longer continue. But this year something truly special happened. Students from Seymour College, guided by their defence mentor Kelly Quigg and supported by the RSL, proudly took the lead. They embraced the traditions, they learned the history and delivered a service that brought together more than 200 people. It was moving, respectful and full of hope, a sign our veterans’ legacy is in safe hands.
