21.01.2022 Today we mark Vietnam Veterans’ Day, on the 54th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. We remember the service and sacrifice of the more than 60,000 Australian... servicemen and women deployed to Vietnam between 1962 and 1975. This is a significant day for many of the widows and families in Legacy's care. In 2020, many ceremonies to commemorate the day have been cancelled for safety. A difficult but considered decision. For those marking this day at home, the Australian War Memorial will conduct a Last Post Ceremony today at 4:55pm. It can be watched on Facebook or YouTube at this link: https://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/last-post-ceremony Lest we forget.

18.01.2022 September 25 is Legacy's official 97th birthday! The Legacy promise was made nearly a century ago, forging an enduring commitment from one mate to another to ca...re for our veterans’ families. Major General Sir John Gellibrand and Lieutenant General Sir Stanley Savige were instrumental in setting up initial Clubs in Hobart and Melbourne. Due to their commitment and enthusiasm for the cause, the movement grew - and in 1925 Legacy turned its focus to care for the children of deceased ex-servicemen. Today, Legacy looks after 48,000 beneficiaries nationally, and with over 4,000 volunteers Legacy provides caring and compassionate support for the families of Australian Defence Force men and women who have lost their life or health.

15.01.2022 The Legacy badge symbolises our nation’s greatest values of mateship, compassion and fairness.

12.01.2022 Across Australia, Legacy Week will look very different this year. Many Legacy Clubs have had to cancel or drastically alter fundraising activities and commemora...tive events due to government restrictions, and to maintain the health and safety of volunteers and the wider community. Legacy has created an online merchandise shop that sells Legacy Bears, Badges and other merchandise: www.legacyshop.com.au. Funds will go towards helping support our veterans' families around the country. Do you collect Legacy Badges or Bears? Share your story below!
