Carrying the torch

Legacy, that unique Australian organization that helps widows and children of deceased war veterans has taking up all my time this last week odd and promises to be as demanding after Easter until the next antique militaria auction scheduled for April 10. As I sit, often alone, in an office assessing, valueing, data entering and generally establishing and maintaining a database to allow us to auction some 600 items to help widows and their children I often wonder why I am doing it largely by myself. The old principle of giving back some of what you have enoyed over your life seems old hat and whereas many join, few come forward and actually work. If you are a veteran and mildy offended by my words, good. Go and join up and do some work. Particularly if you live in Brisbane. Due to a cronic shortage of veterans, Legacy now has a “Friends of Legacy’ classification for membership, so you don’t have to be a veteran, just have a desire to help Australians doing it tough because their husband or father is now deceased due to war service. email me or leave a comment.
