Ah, no worries—perhaps that tweet could go out whenever the US is most active on Twitter then (I assume now/the evening? I'm not up to date with my social media usage research...).
If possible, I'd also like to have multiple rounds of social media for this story—in part because I think we can post multiple times about the same stories to get more traffic, but also because I'd like to see what kind of language plays best for these posts! I know that you're pretty busy with your other work, so if needed I'm willing to help where I can.

Hi Ed:
Yes we can hyper target post by location (even city FYI). Twitter I don't have the ability to target tweets.

As the veteran angle will play a larger role in the US, I'm hoping that the first Twitter and first Facebook posts (as listed above) could be targeted and boosted at the US and Australia, along with links to the Twitter and Facebook profiles of the Australian Army: < https://twitter.com/australianarmy%3E and < https://www.facebook.com/TheAustralianArmy%3E.
Is that possible, Michael? Thanks everyone!
