Many years after the event, Peter Capp stated that he would "prefer the picture to represent everyone who fought in the Vietnam War, not just the select few in the photo".Peter Harris remembered the first time he saw the photograph "I was walking through Sydney only matter of months after returning and I saw it in a framed picture in David Jones". He later saw the image used on "everything from biscuit tins to port jugs".Australia Post included the photograph on a stamp for a series issued in 2016 commemorating Australia's contribution to the Vietnam War.
