A Barbecue and a Reunion at Vasey RSL Care Frankston South

Residents form Vasey RSL Care Frankston South were treated to an Australia Day barbecue thanks to the wonderful people from the Seaford, Frankston Rosebud, Rye, Long Beach, Dromana and Sorrento RSL Sub-branches together with the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Vietnam Veterans. This was the 22nd time they have provided this event for our Frankston South community, for which we are incredibly grateful!

Resident Bruce, a Vietnam Veteran, met a fellow veteran he’d served alongside on the same battlefield in the Vietnam War.

The unexpected reunion stirred deep memories and strong emotions. As Bruce reflected on those difficult times, he said, “I’m surprised we survived.”

For those of us living safely today in Australia, it’s hard to picture what these young men went through: it’s a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by our veterans and the importance of ensuring there are opportunities for their stories to be remembered, shared and honoured.

The barbecue was not just a celebration of Australia Day but also a valuable opportunity for connection, remembrance and gratitude.
