Salute to veterans

CANBERRA is set to host a Salute to Veterans – a national event to thank Australia’s World War II veterans for their contribution and sacrifice.

Centred around Lake Burley Griffin and Anzac Parade, Salute to Veterans will run from August 13-15, encompassing Victory in the Pacific Day on August 15.

It will feature ADF ground displays of historic and modern military equipment, including WWII military vehicles, and simulated operations and rescues.

A series of air pageants on August 14, will involve about 25 different Defence aircraft and will culminate in a choreographed sunset finale featuring a group flyover, an F-111 dump and burn, music and fireworks.

For more information call 1300 360 635 or visit www.dva.gov.au.
