I want to take a moment to wish you all the Merriest Christmas possible and if you don’t celebrate Christmas, then Happy Holidays. I know many of you are separated from your loved ones because of service requirements, or maybe because of COVID, but know that we are thinking of you.

To all our wonderful volunteers, those who sew for us, thank you for your generosity and for all the love and care you put into everything you make. It is much appreciated.

To the awesome admin team who have stepped up to keep Aussie Heroes running over the last 18 months or so a very big thank you. Your contribution is invaluable. We might have lots of people who want to sew for us but without those of you who are happy to sit and answer and write emails, there would be nothing to sew. We could not have Aussie Heroes without you.

To all our serving members, past and present, thank you for your service and the sacrifice that service asks of you and your loved ones. Whether you are serving at home or overseas, whatever operation you are on, perhaps a ship, or airborne, or ground based, I hope our continued support will remind you that you have a grateful nation behind you.

To those that have supported us through the year with donations and encouragement, a huge thank you. It means more than you know.

Merry Christmas one and all.

Lots of love,

Jan-Maree xxx
