Here is a photo James e-mailed me of Willie Apiata, the Victoria Cross winner. James is doing his speech on Willie and his dad is also in the army.

Bill Henry “Willie” Apiata VC (born 28 June 1972 in Mangakino, New Zealand) is a Corporal in the New Zealand Special Air Service and the first recipient of the Victoria Cross for New Zealand. He received the award on 2 July 2007 for bravery under fire during the Afghanistan conflict in 2004, after carrying a gravely wounded comrade across a battlefield, under fire, to safety.

Cheer James, I like it when people send me e-mails with things they are interested in.
