Those are very nice medals. I'll bet you're proud of the service he made to his country.

It was Anzac day on 25th April here in Australia, honouring the fallen, and those who fought to make the world a safer place for us all. Dad is humble about his Army service, doesn't really like to talk about it. Yes, I am proud of his service, and survival.
