Vietnam Veteran, Barry Schwind, has written to the Vietnam Swans to congratulate all for the 2012 ANZAC Friendship Match.

His email is reproduced below.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the ANZAC Friendship Match on 21st April last and would like to write and congratulate the Club for the wonderful day you put on.

As a Vet, I more than appreciate what you are trying to achieve and believe you have already established in such a short time something that all vets will, and should, make this game day part of their itinerary whilst visiting Vietnam.

You are to be congratulated also on the work you are doing with the orphanage and swimming program. Well done.

I am a member of the Gold Coast Suns here in Queensland and have been in touch with the club to put a story of my visit, along with details of the game day on their website. I will let you know.
