as posted here

THE City of Gosnells is inviting the public to ‘Meet Don Tate’ at the Gosnells Knowledge Centre next month.

The author of ‘The War Within’, Don will talk candidly about his life before and after the Vietnam War and show rare film footage of his infantry experiences in Vietnam during 1969.

Don’s book is an inspirational memoir about his life – from his humble beginnings growing up in Brisbane to his time as an infantryman during the Vietnam War and subsequent life as a veteran with a disability.

“Not just a war story, The War Within is also a tale of enduring love as Don describes his wife Carole whose dazzling decency and unconditional love kept him sane in the face of incredible adversity,” said Mayor Olwen Searle.

Meet Don Tate is at the Knowledge Centre in the Agonis Building at 2232D Albany Highway, Gosnells on Tuesday 11 August from 2pm to 4pm.

Refreshments will be provided and bookings are essential – call 9398 2551 to book.
