A memorial honouring Afghanistan war veterans has opened in Brisbane
Veterans’ not-for-profit organisation 42 For 42 raised the funds to design and build the memorial for the Australian soldiers.
President Sean Mulqueen said “We did a challenge at [Lang Park] where we walked 42 hours with 42 kilos to represent the 41 that were killed in Afghanistan and the 42nd we lost to suicide.”
The garden is now used as a place of reflection and aims to educate the community.
