Making it the number one priority of his visit to the Burdekin last week, Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox, presented Vietnam veteran, Greg Walters, with a Certificate of Appreciation, recognising his service given in the Defence Force.
Mr Willcox also presented the Home Hill RSL with an Australian Flag, which was greatly appreciated and warmly received by the RSL. The members were also witness to Mr Walter receiving his honorary award, making it a notable occasion.
Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox, was delighted to be able to express his gratitude to Greg Walters, and to do so in person after sacrificing so much for his country, was an honour as he handed over the certificate.
“I was pleased to present Greg with a Certificate of Appreciation for his service during the Vietnam War,” Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox said.
“Greg’s willingness to put his life on the line for the sake of our country is greatly appreciated.”
Greg, who is now retired and no longer in the Australian armed forces, was both surprised and honoured to receive the award, as it was something he wasn’t expecting.
“It was a great day, and I have already found a spot at home to hang up the Certificate of Appreciation,” Greg said on the special day.
The recent visit, marks yet another occasion that Mr. Andrew Willcox has truly admired and been in awe of the local Burdekin community, many of which seem to always surprise him every time he stops to meet them.
“When I am not down in Canberra for Parliament, I get in the 4WD and hit the Bruce Highway and stop into Regional Queensland towns from Mackay to Townsville,”
“The thing I really love about being the Federal Member for Dawson is meeting incredible people each day and hearing their stories.”
