Vickie Barnes is a former junior Legatee and was supported by Legacy as a child after her father died at Vietnam.

Vickie found such value in the organisation that she is now the President of Legacy’s Blue Mountains Division.

Vickie Barnes, nominated ‘I was only 19’ by The Herd to feature on the Legacy Songs Badge as it reminded her of her late father who lost his life serving Australia.

Music has always played an important role in Vickie’s life by helping keep the memory of her father alive.

A couple of months ago Legacy and Telstra approached a group of us associated with Legacy to ask us to nominate a song that reminded us of our loved one who lost their lives serving our country. From this, the Legacy Song Badge was born and I am proud to be associated with this as I remember my father through one of the songs on the badge; The Herd’s Redgum cover of, ‘I was only 19.’
