Dig Deep to help Legacy keep their promise to our servicemen.

Thousands of school students, cadets and uniformed Defence Force Personnel will be on the streets on Friday, September 3 for Legacy Badge Day.
| The sale of badges helps Legacy keep its promise to servicemen and women that their families will be supported if they do not return from duty.
| ``Australia currently has 3,300 troops deployed on defence missions around the globe and their families can be assured that Legacy will care for their families if needed,'' said Sydney Legacy president Peter Rouch.
| ``Ten young Australian servicemen have died in Afghanistan this year. Our thoughts are with their families.
``Now is a time of great sadness for their families and the families of all Defence Force service personnel who have sacrificed their lives in service of our country.
| Legacy is dedicated to the welfare of widows and dependents of Australian Defence Force personnel killed in war or whilst training for war, in peacekeeping or hazardous service, or who have died subsequently. Badge Day is one of Legacy’s most significant events during the year to raise funds to care for the families of men and women who served Australia.

``It is very reassuring for every man or woman who serves in Australia's defence forces that, should they not return, Legacy will keep their promise to see the family through difficult times.
``Legacy is not there just in the days after a death but for the many, many years ahead.''
