Young Widow, Mrs Breeanna Till, addressed the gathering, providing an insight into the loss and challenges faced
by today's families who lose a partner and parent on operational service. Brett Till was killed in a bomb blast in Afghanistan in March 2009.

Legacy Remembrance Dinner

"Battlefield leadership - A competitive edge" Wednesday 9 November 2011
| "The soldiers of Special Operations Task Force do not ask for accolades or praise. They have taken and will continue to take the fight to the enemy in the name of those who cannot fight for themselves. With the Australian public's continued support of our soldiers, I have no doubt that we will continue to assist the Afghan people to degrade the insurgency and promote the legitimacy of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan."
| This special evening was memorable for all who attended. The opportunity to hear from a Special Operations Task Force Commander speak about leadership was a chance to gain insight into how our Defence Forces inspire their troops in the most difficult of circumstances.
| Mark your diary for a similar event next November - details will be released in early 2012.

Family Camps for Junior Legatees and Mums
|

| In the October School Holidays Junior Legatees and their mums spent some time at the Legacy Holiday House at Moss Vale.
While the children kept busy with a range of activities led by Legatees - building billycarts, learning basic handyman skills as well as cinema and swim visits - the mums had some time out and enjoyed some pampering.
