RSA mourns the deaths of New Zealand service
personnel
The Royal New Zealand Returned
and Services Association National President Don McIver says
that the tragic news of the deaths of two New Zealand
Defence Force personnel from the New Zealand Provincial
Reconstruction Team while serving their country in
Afghanistan will be received with great sorrow by all
members of the RSA.
“Our deepest sympathies are with all those who loved and cared for them both – their families, friends and all those from the New Zealand Defence Force who served with them”, says Mr McIver.
“Our thoughts are also with the six wounded service
personnel, and their families, and we are all hoping that
they make a full recovery.”
RSAs throughout the
country stand ready to support and assist the families of
the deceased and of the wounded.
Today and over
the next few days flags will fly at half-mast at RSAs to
honour the memory of our fallen compatriots.
