MIA Vietnam Veterans remains to be brought home
clipped by: Mikez
An official party will leave from Sydney for Vietnam today to bring home the remains of two Australian soldiers declared missing in action in 1965.
Lance Corporal Richard Parker and Private Peter Gillson were serving in South Vietnam when they were struck by enemy machine gun fire.
Their bodies were only recently discovered in a grave north of Ho Chi Minh City.
Assistant Defence Minister Bruce Billson says Australia has a moral duty to see the soldiers are properly laid to rest.
"They served with great gallantry. They gave their lives in the service of the nation and the nation must never forget that," he said.
"Ill be joined by Private Gillsons son, who was an infant at the time his dad lost his life," he said.
"Private Gillsons son didnt have a focal point for his grieving, this is a part of his life story that has been a void for 42 years, now were able to bring that aspect to a close for him."
