Roads To Recovery

This Thursday marks the 50th anniversary of the 4 hour battle at Long Tan that saw Eighteen Australians lose their lives, 24 receive various wounds, and at least 245 of the enemy killed. It is that event that is used to mark Vietnam Veterans day. The Viet Vets motto is to *Honour the dead but fight like hell for the living*. Today we have a fantastic conversation with Rieny Nieuwenhof, president of our Geelong & District Viet Vets, Nigel Wilson,long time life member, and Dr. Ted Heffernan, their Patron, and Surgeon who was there on the day.
