The photograph at the top of the page of Vasey farewelling Alan was used at the conclusion of episodes of the 1980s TV series The Sullivans and came to symbolise loss to a generation of Australians. The photograph is held by the Australian War Memorial, and a copy is on display there.
Vasey's story was chosen by the National Museum of Australia as one of fifty "stories from the emotional heart of Australia". Her photo-portrait forms part of the display.

Famous quotes related to popular culture:
“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
