We sand by Doug Baird and Hawthorn RSL Sub Branch on this matter. Absolutely disgraceful from Matt Keogh’s office.

When you do as much good as the Baird family has done for the veteran community, our government should be asking how they can support them further, not taking that support away.

Cameron Baird VC MG is one of the giants of the Australian Defence Force. He remains an inspirational figure, and a powerful example of courage, leadership, and selfless service. For the generation who’ve served during the Global War on Terror era and through to today, Cam Baird is our Albert Jacka.

We are deeply grateful that Kaye and Doug Baird have made it their mission to continue telling Cam’s story, ensuring future generations understand the character of the man, the sacrifice he made for his mates and his country, and the values he represented.

But in the same fortnight that the Australian Government announced caps to veteran entitlements, funding has been removed from the family of one of our nation’s greatest heroes as they work to preserve his legacy. All for a measly couple of grand. The sort of money a big DVA office would spend on stationary.

As a country, we need to be better than this.

🌅 On this day, we reflect on those who have sacrificed for our great country, and thank our past and current serving members for their service.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Lest we forget

This video demonstrates the true power of connection, dedication and Australian spirit.

The recent Longwood fires in Victoria significantly impacted the farms and properties of the area. SOSA was able to secure a donation from Green Valley Grains and drop it off to Fawcett.

Well done to Drew and the team for making this happen. 👏🏼
