On the release of Love of Country in 2024, Don said:
Anzac Day is a time to honour those who gave everything for our country and our freedom.
My Dad served in the Army during World War II. I’m lucky – I never had to go to war. I did my National Service in the Army but it was peacetime, so I never had to experience the horrors of war itself.
Here is a song I wrote some time ago as a tribute to the incredible courage and sacrifice of the men and women who fought for us and their deep love for their country.
This is a lyric video, so you can sing along.
