Yesterday we had a small but moving service for Veterans Day at the Sub-Branch. The New President, Colonel Paddy Evans [ Retd.] gave an address , covering Vietnam , and the Afghan conflicts in particular. The address touched on the Human cost of War, the price some pay the wounds unseen but borne , normally in silence.

Often in these trying times our thoughts turn to the unsung heroes of our Health System, the Drs and Nurses who put in the hard yards to keep us safe and alive. Its no different in the time of War. The story of Leslie Simkin tells of another side of War.

RSL Qld stands ready to support Veterans in the wake of the Afghan crisis.
