Great story. I wonder if we could share with a few veteran forums in case they are interested in reposting?On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 6:10 PM, Ed Erhart <eerhart@wikimedia.org> wrote:--EdAs 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> and <https://www.facebook.com/TheAustralianArmy>.
Is that possible, Michael?
