A heartfelt tribute to David’s service 🇦🇺
Last month, residents and friends gathered at the sports pavilion at Lincoln Lifestyle Mudgee Spring alongside representatives from Mudgee Legacy for a special presentation honouring veteran and resident David Nelson.
David served in Vietnam in 1971 as a Private with the 4th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (4RAR). In recognition of his service and sacrifice, his neighbours and fellow residents, Pam and Chris Bellhouse, who are also NSW representatives for Quilts of Valour Australia, presented him with a beautiful quilt made by the Warragul Quilters of Victoria.
David shared reflections on his service and his gratitude for the quilt, before everyone enjoyed refreshments together.
Thank you to Pam and Chris, Quilts of Valour Australia, the Warragul Quilters, Mudgee Legacy and everyone who helped make this a memorable occasion. And thank you, David, for your service.
