🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL FLAG DAY 🇦🇺

Today, 3 September, we recognise Australian National Flag Day, a day to reflect on the meaning and history of the flag that represents our nation.

At Bootstraps, nearly all of our volunteers have served under the Australia flag. Throughout conflicts, both at home and around the world, from generations past to those who continue to serve today, we remember the dedication, sacrifice and courage of our Australian service men and women. 🎖️

The Australian flag has been carried, flown and worn in some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Behind every flag is a story, of service, mateship, sacrifice, resilience and coming home.

Today, we proudly say thank you to all who have served beneath it, and we remember those who never made it home.

🇦🇺 Lest we forget. 🇦🇺

🤪 WACKY WEDNESDAY! 🤪

Why did the piece of leather go to therapy? 🐄😂
Because it had too many HIDE-den feelings! 🤣🤣

We do great work with leather, but we definitely don't take our jokes too seriously! 😜

Have a wonderfully wacky Wednesday from all of us at Bootstraps Veterans Charity! 🥾❤️
