Pashmina

As you may know I send parcels to soldiers/sailors/airmen/airwomen deployed overseas myself and for the local RSL - I'm also involved in the site Ocean, Sky & Khaki to get that info out about about how to send parcels to Aussie service people deployed overseas.

On Monday I received a card from the PO to pick up an item of mail.

Today I was able to get there before closing.

I was delighted to see it was from AFPO 13, Afghanistan.

It contained a postcard with a brief note of thanks and a beautiful pashmina.

I am delighted.

I wish I could thank the person who sent it.... so if you are out there, thanks so much, it's lovely!

Katie, my sweetheart. She'd rather a pat than a feed.

Wonderful!

The parents of Greg Sher, a special forces Commando, brought their three children out of then-undemocratic South Africa in 1986 in order to embark on a new life in a new country. As immigrants who sought to soak up the Aussie culture and integrate into society, they were quickly imbued with notions of service and benevolence.
Australia welcomed our family to this country. And now our brother and son lies at one with this land, forever locked in its embrace. We, his family and friends, can only offer to return that embrace and hold this nation close to our hearts, asking it to remember that Gregory has given so much both to us and this country.

Thanks to those who work to help keep me safe and free.

And who help spread that safety and freedom.
