Just for the Demons fans... Korean War fighter pilot Geoff Collins played in the 1948 premiership, served in the war in 1953, and returned to play in the 1954 Grand Final side. His brother Mick is still alive & also played 4 games for the Dees. @NickMcCallum7 @jamesmassola #TYFYS

Australian Army veteran Curtis McGrath goes back to back gold in the Paralympics! In 2012, Curtis lost both his legs serving Australia in Afghanistan. What an inspirational effort. #TYFYS @AustralianArmy @ChiefAusArmy @CDF_Aust @DVACommissioner @DVASecretary Pix: Getty Images
