Very nicely done. I like the first one. Are these gentlemen veterans?

Fred, The first man whoI was abe to zoom into his name tag and trace, is on the honour roll of his RSL so I imagine that he has seen some kind of service, the other one I don't know, As you can see the subject has been played with (courtesy of my son, who being a graphic designer is that way inclined after seeing the casual shot that I showed him). I also thought that it was inspiring and wanted to share it with other people as well as the gents RSL.

Great shots, the guy on the left is a Korean veteran going by his medals, he is wearing his own medals on his left and the medals on his right are those of a family member.
The shot to me typifys the meaning of mateship which is a big part of ANZAC day. Well done.

Thanks for explaining it to me... My hat's off to anyone that has served or is currently serving in the military. The sacrifice they have paid to keep us free is truly amazing and we owe them a giant debt of gratitude. Thanks so much for sharing these pictures.

Fantastic shots and i love the 2nd one..i wonder what they are talking about ..i would presume about their time in the service . I am so proud of our soldiers and the old diggers who defended our freedom back in world war 1 and 2 and all the other wars that have been fought for us. God Bless Australia (the land that I love.)
and thankyou for sharing.
