| 2 | No not really, I have a data base of about 200 veterans that I am in touch with and I have forwarded on your details in hope they will join |
| 3 | You could cut out your obvious political leanings to the extreme right wing factions against climate change and the voice ect by promoting politics all you are doing is deviding the community you are supposedly supporting.I haven’t included left wing crap because you can’t be accused of bias in that field. |
| 4 | I think you are doing well ,keep it up. cheers Tom |
| 5 | I don’t think so. |

| 25 | At this point in time the site is a credit to the team, future planning may require to “shanghai” extra people to take some of the workload. The site is a valuable resource for all veterans, I hope I am around for a long time to benefit from the hard work that is being done on our behalf. |
| 26 | Mate, you are doing a fantastic job donating your time to inform us what is going on. I look forward every day (unless you are on holidays) for Veterans Web and I check the funeral notices to see if I know any of my fellow Vets have fallen off the perch. |
| 27 | You are doing a fantastic job. |

I am currently reading No Front Line…..what an eye opener…..I’m glad I wasn’t there! Your Just how Woke can you Go? Nailed it…..very apt. Many thanks for the Death notices a bit scary but necessary. Take care Andy Ochiltree Ex 9RAR |
| 34 | Not that I can think of ~ but do keep up the good work.

| 35 | No |
| 36 | No, nothing. |
| 37 | Keep away from too much political content |
| 38 | less politics |
| 39 | Excellent source of information for those of us that cannot socialize or are cut off from our serving past. Keeping us in contact with the veteran community and happenings. |
| 40 | I enjoy reading everything to do with veterans |
| 41 | Everyone has an opinion and everyone has a right to express it, but when authors seek to influence others to adopt their views (rather than the reporting of facts), the publication has to take responsibility and ensure balance, ie. the views of both for and against must be presented. If the publication is to align itself with one side only, this bias must be stated openly so that readers are not mislead. |
| 42 | KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK |
| 43 | Keep up the great work.. |
| 44 | Very reasonable at present |
| 45 | Pressure to be maintained on the Prime Minister, Defence Minister and veteran affairs minister. To make sure the look after the Current Soldiers. |
| 46 | Thank you for this service…it keeps me in touch with what is happening to our Veterans |
| 47 | Not really. I don’t know why I wasn’t on this website years ago. Also with the donation I prefer to give the amount in full one time for the year if that’s OK. |
| 48 | I think veteran web is an excellent platform. I look forward to receiving it and have recommended it numerous times to younger veterans that I have met in the past. |
| 49 | Nothing really, doing quite well as is. |
| 50 | Happy as is, thanks |
| 51 | You’re doing well, keep going! |
| 52 | How can you improve on something that is of excellent quality? |
| 53 | You are doing a fantastic job |
| 54 | Notify deaths of RAAF personnel. |
| 55 | Promote anti-socialism, being apolitical is not an option when studying the past four decades. |
| 56 | not that i can tjhink of at this time |
| 57 | Undecided… |
| 58 | No, the site provides a great service in the fight against the LOONEY LEFT, last bastion of common sense except for SKY NEWS!! Without being overly political the country is going to the dogs lead by the band of Canberra trough dwellers and bureaucrats, also self serving, dishonest politicians on both sides of the mirky political swamp. The only thing I can say about Canberra is that it is a long drive from real AUSTRALIA. |
| 59 | I certainly very much appreciate the work and effort to do this supporting veterans with issues that affect us and topics that we are interested in. I look forward to its arrival each day. |
| 60 | The negative effects of the Covid “vaccines” should have been reported on. 1. The needles did not prevent Covid. 2. In almost every country the death rate rose sharply after “vaccinations “and fell sharply when ” vaccinations “waned. 3. The merits of Ivermectin should have been canvassed. 4. A nurse of 60 years’ service saw first-hand the deaths and serious side effects of the ‘vaccinations”. |
| 61 | I would like to print some of your articles which are relevant to current issues – comments by Jacina Nampijina Price re problems in Alice Springs and the recent introduction of thinks like smoking ceremonies come to mind – but I cannot do that – is that because of IT incompetence? I am interested in the plight of homeless veterans and the problems relating to doing something positive for these men and women. Michael Naughton. |
| 62 | Please just keep up the informative content. |
| 63 | I highly recommend your site to Other Nashos . |
| 64 | Views expressed on non veteran related matters such as indigenous rights etc are too aligned to right wing politics and in my opinion have no relevance to this forum. |
| 65 | I think that you are doing a very good job and I look forward to seeing it at my in box. |
| 66 | It’s looking good from my angle |
| 67 | Maybe list places to stay that veterans run. |
| 68 | WOULD PREFER A WEEKLY FORMAT DUE TO THE ACCUMULATION OF EMAILS WHEN NOT HOME. WE ATTENDED A REUNION AND WERE INTERSTATE LATE LAST YEAR AND WERE AWAY FROM HOME AND EMAILS (AND MOSTLY THE PHONE) FOR ABOUT A MONTH. 4 x 7 = 28 DAYS OF EMAILS FROM JUST THIS ONE SOURCE, LET ALONE ALL OF THE OTHER INCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WOULD BE EASIER TO READ IN DEPTH JUST FOUR EMAILS, INSTEAD OF CLICKING AND DELETING 28 PLUS. i HAD A COUPLE OF HUNDRED EMAILS OVERALL IN THE IN-BOX UPON RETURN! |
| 69 | No, keep doing what you do best. |
| 70 | Looks pretty good to me. |
| 71 | Keep up the good work |
| 72 | No |
| 73 | yes ! keep the mag to one a week that way it incorporates all items on the table unless there is an urgent signal top be sent
Content is good but sometimes overwhelming |
| 74 | Organise get togethers at Vic barracks sydney.RAR,s |
| 75 | I have only been with you for a week. In a few months time I will comment. But most impressed so far. Keep up the good work. Gary B |
| 76 | Keep up the good work. |
| 77 | Nope! |
| 78 | No. I am very pleased with the site. Ray does a very good job. |
| 79 | No – happy with the service. |
| 80 | No I believe that you are doing a good thing |
| 81 | Doing just fine. Appreciate the effort and work. Thankyou. |
| 82 | Great Job. Than you |
| 83 | What you have achieved is great but you will never please all thank you. Peter spindler. |
| 84 | All good |
| 85 | For me all is well. Doing a great job with all info provided to keep me up to date Thanks |
| 86 | The ability for me to divide the document into its individual parts so I can keep/store/save the info in relevant folders. That is the way it used to be but I know this newer format is easier for Ray and colleagues to manage and produce. |
| 87 | I enjoy reading the articles in your new format & cannot see any reason to change. |
| 88 | Les advertising |
| 89 | Thanks |
| 90 | Just be transparent for all us servicemen. |
| 91 | No |
| 92 | I have noticed all the Notices of Passing of Service and Ex-Service Members appear to be all Army. Do you receive info on the passing of RAAF and Navy personnel? |
| 93 | 1. When advising of a veteran’s death, and where available, can the deceased’s Unit and Sub-unit be given more prominence? (i.e. it would be nice to be able to identify whether a deceased was from one’s immediate unit.) Also, can veterans of different wars/eras be separated from others? e.g. by way of a separate heading such as Vale Vietnam Veteran; Vale Afghanistan Veteran; Vale Soldier; etc.
2. Often when funeral details are given, a street and suburb/town are mentioned, but no State. This would be handy to know, particularly if one happens to be traveling in the area. 3. In the meantime, please keep up the good work in what must be a truly herculean and monumental task. Your efforts are appreciated. |
| 94 | no you cover the whole gambit very well. |
| 95 | some times there are individual items that I want to copy and email to my mates. Making it easy to extract an individual item would be more than helpful |
| 96 | At the moment there is nothing, As I am very Satisfied with it as it is. |
| 97 | Keep up the communication it is appreciated. I pass veteranweb on to our Vetnam vets in my area |
| 98 | Thank you I enjoy reading all the information |
| 99 | Looks ok |
| 100 | Not that I can think of, You are doing a great job, and I send out to our members and friends |
| 101 | As an 80 year old Vietnam Vet I like what you are doing. |
| 102 | No, seems all okay with me |
| 103 | it is good to see someone putting some news of veterans out there, more on what affects veterans please |
| 104 | My Mother-in-law, Berenice, Widow of Fred, looks forward to your emails, almost daily.
Keep up the good work. |
| 105 | Less ads would be good. I’m happy to donate 2 or 3 times a year to help make up for less advertising. |
| 106 | Might be better to place Obituaries all together in one message, if possible, separately from General News items… |
| 107 | You are on top of everything that I want to see . Thank you and keep up the good work. (Ray you are a legend,stay the course mate.) |
| 108 | Not happy with adds , on fence about continuing reading these emails |
| 109 | keep up the good work and telling the other side of the discussion. mainstream media is crushing any contrary views to their own woke mantra. we need to hear from the silent majority who are too afraid to speak out as we no longer have free speech |
| 110 | I think you are doing well |
| 111 | No, I think you have got about right |
| 112 | Keep up the good work |
| 113 | Not really. Very happy with your stirling and comprehensive work. These days it’s mostly death notices I follow. Nick Howlett |
| 114 | I am a 1955 Nasho served in CMF untill 1969. can I call myself a Veteran? |
| 115 | The views I have toward some political issues may not match editorially. Would prefer the facts rather than opinion. |
| 116 | Maybe where possible when a veteran passes a more in-depth report on his- her length of service and units. |
| 117 | NO WAY, as far as I’m concerned. Very ,Very well done Ray > |
| 118 | just be honest and streight forward.with us |
| 119 | I think you are doing a great job now. Love some of the amusing pieces |
| 120 | nothing comes to mind |
| 121 | Please keep up the good work. |
| 122 | This is an excellent forum I am sorry I did not learn about it sooner. Within our Parliamentary system it is possible for members/senators from all parties to form a Friends of group. I suggest that approaches could be made to a select group of Federal Politicians to form a Friends of members of the ADF past and present. Should such a group be formed they could report on a quarterly basis. |
| 123 | not really, the information that has been received over the past 12 months or so has improved and is pretty much on point. |
| 124 | Doing a great job. I read it every day |
| 125 | I sometimes want to forward info on the Veteranweb website to friends outside of Veteranweb. However there does not seem to be a way I can cut and paste the info [is it protected] on to outlook, without actually doing it using the website heading. When Ray sent out info prior to Veteranweb, it was easy to forward via bcc. Is there a way that info can be forwarded to others. Please advise. Thank you. Tony. |
| 126 | You are fabulous. There is no other site like yours. Keep it coming. I appreciate the hours you input to this special project. Maxwell Hayes (I have two email addresses. Please delete one) |
| 127 | No! |
| 128 | I’m happy with the way the Vetranweb is run right now. It includes interesting posts on Military issues and History and Current developments. At Age 77, I’m not up for things like ‘Mates” or whatever but anything to do with benefits for us olds sods (Viet Vet) is of interest to me of course. Thank You for the work you do. |
| 129 | No need for daily deceased notifications. Once a week summary enough. |
| 130 | Just keep up the excellent work that you do, it is sincerely appreciated. |
| 131 | I ALREADY PASS VET WEB ON TO MY NATIONAL SERVICE ASSOC MATES |
| 132 | No |
| 133 | I’m happy with what you are doing. Your doing a great job. Thanks |
| 134 | Doing a great job |
| 135 | Enjoy getting this every day. Thank you for a wonderful effort in keeping veterans informed. |
| 136 | No all great with me I like this very much. |
| 137 | Nothing I can think of but if you were able to get information on pulmonary fibrosis (PF), I for one would appreciate it. I know that many Vietnam veterans have it also. A big ask I know but one can only ask. |
| 138 | keep them commig, you are doing a great job. thank you |
| 139 | Just enjoy reading the topics shown of interest to me |
| 140 | not at this stage |
| 141 | I think you do a great job now |
| 142 | Push back against the the WOKE IDEOLOGIES which has spread across our ADF.
Get the ADF to focus on the best man for the job. The quotas mantras have weakened the ADF and impeded male recruitment |
| 143 | NO |
| 144 | Just keep us informed |
| 145 | Can we do anything to stop specialists charging Defence Health members ‘out of pocket expenses / GAP? Have paid top cover for 48 years with Army/ Defence Health and get billed $5000 which is 20 weeks of my DVA 100% Disability Pension! |
| 146 | Nothing that comes to mind |
| 147 | No. |
| 148 | Keep on keeping on. Your service is amazing |
| 149 | No, keep up the good work |
| 150 | doing a good job. |
| 151 | The improvements made over the last year have been excellent. I can’t recommend any other improvements. The balance seems right already. Thanks for all your work. |
| 152 | You are already doing a great job! |
| 153 | This is a great site. Keep up the great work. I am willing to pay a subscription or donate. Let me know.
regards |
| 154 | It is hard to beat a great setup covering the range of topics covered. Possibly less of the overseas political happenings and more of veteran centred activities. |
| 155 | None that come to mind! You do a fantastic Service for our past and present Service Personnel and family connections! |
| 156 | No |
