🇦🇺 The Legacy of Loneliness 🇦🇺

🇦🇺 The Legacy of Loneliness 🇦🇺

Every unit that’s marched and fought

Has ghosts of battles that time forgot.

For too many veterans the hardest test

Begins when they’re home, no longer dressed.

The uniform gone, the silence remains,

Loneliness cutting through heart and veins.

Bureaucracy tangled, finances strained,

Families fractured, trust hard to regain.

They stand in the crowd but feel apart,

A weight of service breaks the heart.

What once was mateship, shoulder to shoulder,

Becomes an emptiness, colder and colder.

But a legacy can be built anew—

Connection forged by me and you.

At Rocky Vale Villa, the call is clear:

No veteran stands alone while we’re here.

The opposite of loneliness is to belong,

A chorus of voices, steady and strong.

Because every sister, brother, mate—

Deserves connection, not this fate.

So we promise, hand on hand

No one left behind in this land.
