Legacy Week

BUY A BADGE DURING LEGACY WEEK! Some readers may be aware I am a Legatee, a veteran dedicated to helping widows of mates left behind in foreign lands or who later died back home due to their war service. During Legacy Week we remind the public of the essential role we play in the community – providing services such as welfare, support and education to 130,000 widows Australia-wide, and over 1,900 children and disabled dependants. ADF personnel, high school students and volunteers will be pounding the pavements and paddocks of city and country during Legacy Week. Please support Legacy by buying a Badge and wearing it with pride. As Legacy does not receive government funding, we are reliant on the generosity of the Australian public on Badge Day to ensure we can continue to care for our extended family. For over 80 years Legacy has been caring for the families of defence force personnel killed in war or other hazardous service, in peacekeeping operations or in accidents whilst training for war, or who have died subsequently. You will see us everywhere this week so as you go through your daily life, through the shopping centre, down the mall or at the railway station look for these volunteers and help us help all the war widows and their children.
