The Milton Ulladulla RSL Sub Branch held a Middle East Ceremony at the National Service Memorial, Crescent Street, Ulladulla yesterday [Tuesday, July 11] and it was a well-supported event.
Veterans from the surrounding Shoalhaven RSL Sub Branches attended the ceremony, while visitors from the likes of the Newtown RSL Sub Branch also attended.
It was held to honour all military and peace-keepers who served in the Middle East Area of Operations from 1990 [Desert Storm One] through to July 11, when the then Minister for Defence confirmed all Australian Defence Force personnel had departed Afghanistan, "bringing our nation's longest war to a close".
