Lest we forget
Today we pause to remember the Black Hawk Tragedy of 12 June 1996.
Eighteen Australian soldiers were taken from us.
Fifteen were members of the Special Air Service Regiment. Three served with the 5th Aviation Regiment.
They were fathers, sons, husbands, brothers, mates and warriors. Men who volunteered to serve their country and who never returned home.
Today we honour their service, their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.
They remain in our thoughts and in our hearts. Never forgotten.
Lest We Forget. 🇦🇺🌹🥃
