Vietnam veterans to hold overdue reunion

Last December was fifty years since one of the last New Zealand rifle companies left Vietnam but because of Covid-19 restrictions veterans from that war are still waiting to hold a reunion. Three thousand New Zealanders served in Vietnam between 1965 and 1972. Andy Peters served as a machine gunner in the New Zealand Army's Victor Four company and he's now the President of the Vietnam Veteran's Association. He says hundreds of veterans are planning a long awaited reunion in Christchurch in November.
