The words, "Lest We Forget" mean a great deal
to many Australians. And so they should. But
added actions would mean even more. For example,
how are veterans treated in Australia? Is there
a great deal of support from the government in
supporting veterans with PTSD and other service
related mental illnesses? Why is homelessness so
high amongst our veterans. How about trying to
raise awareness and fundraise and persuade the
government to assist these veterans? How come there's
now only a few Repat hospitals left in the country -
when there used to be several in each city?

Lest We Forget? It seems that our government already
has.

I still cry whenever I hear "The Last Post,
being played. But perhaps it would do more
good if I was to take up a petition and
present it to Canberra in support of veterans
needing help with PTSD and other service related
medical illnesses.

Dearest Foxy,

Perhaps you could get Yassmin to publicise such a petition on our ABC ? She's such a compassionate person. But she might have to okay it first with her friends.

Love,

Joe

Dear Joe,

There's no need to do what you suggest.

The ABC has already done it through their "Four
Corners", program,
"Bringing The War Home". Read the following link:

Thank you, Foxy, that should be re-played during every Anzac Week and Remembrance Week. But if our ABC needs reminding, I'm confident that Yassmin would like to promote such a film, she's such a compassionate person.

Love,

Joe

Dear Joe,

Not as compassionate as you appear to be.

You're beyond compassionate.
