Posted June 25, 201311 yr http://www.wanderingwarriors.org/wp-content/themes/warriors/images/logo.png http://www.wanderingwarriors.org Twelve special forces soldiers will spend August on the march, tramping 1600 kilometres from Brisbane to the far western town of Birdsville to raise $500,000 for wounded and war-weary comrades-in-arms. The troop's oldest member will be a retired SAS veteran of 74; its youngest a serving soldier in his twenties. They'll head west from Anzac Square, the home of Brisbane's eternal flame, on August 3. They will spend 33 days on the move, walking in relay and camping in convoy in a journey that will take them through Toowoomba, Dalby, Roma, Charleville and a clutch of one-pub outposts, en route to Birdsville. The mega-walk is an initiative of Wandering Warriors, a foundation established by the Special Air Service Association's Queensland branch to raise money for services the military and Department of Veterans Affairs are unable to provide. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/executive-style/strive/how-far-would-you-walk-to-help-a-mate-20130611-2o18v.html related: http://www.sartrust.org.au/ SAS Resources Fund Edited June 25, 201311 yr by mandatory05 "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill
