Claims made by Chris Long, VK3AML that my father never served in Vietnam are clearly FALSE with evidence available online. The following website shows a video of Soldiers in Vietnam giving Christmas messages in 1969 to families back home. At 17:45 in the video it clearly shows my father giving a message to myself and the rest of my family.
Wayne Templar 61452 did serve in Vietnam and died from Agent Orange related Pancreatic Cancer in 1993.
