2013 New Year's Eve - A 1999 UNTSO reunion in Burlington, Ontario, CANADA.

 
 
In 1999, Darren Wright & Ben James (both Australian Army Officers) and David Justice (Canadian Army Officer) worked for the United Nations Truce Supervisory Organisation (UNTSO) peace keeping in the Golan Heights for 6 months and Southern Lebanon for 6 months.  That is the beginning of our friendships 14 years ago!.  Darren (ex-Army) & his family, are now living in Texas, Houston, working for Chevron Oil, Dave (ex-Army) and his family, are now living in Quebec, Canada, working as a partner in a Security firm and Ben is still working in Australian Army, currently posted to the US Army War College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania as a student for 12 months.  Missing from the crew are Rob Lee (Australian Army Officer) and Nancy Legrand (was Canadian Army, now Royal Australian Navy Officer).
