As well as ANZAC Day and supporting that outpouring in the community, the minister also has a discretionary fund whereby he's able to assist veterans to go back to areas where they fought, so they can go back and visit the battlefields they fought in. It's kind of a closure for them to go back and see where they were, how it is changed. Last year there were about 120 who went back to Malaya, who had fought with the British forces in Malaya, and they toured around Malaya and went to all the places they had served in, saw all those things, and saw how they contributed to that community. We sent a number of Korean veterans back to Korea, and they feel good in themselves that they contributed to modern-day Korea. They can see how their service benefited another country as well as what they have done for New Zealand. So that is a very significant way in which we can acknowledge their service, provide an acknowledgement and support for them.
The minister went and joined with the guys who went to Malaya. They had a great time. They showed him where they'd been and were rewarded by the Malayan people for what they had done. That, as well as what we do in New Zealand to commemorate people, to commemorate veterans for their service, is an important step as well. Now they can go back and see what they have contributed.
