ANZAC Day – Remembering Service and Sacrifice
On ANZAC Day, we pause to honour all those who served and sacrificed in the defence of freedom and peace, across generations and backgrounds. Among them were Chinese Australians whose contributions in times of war form an important part of our shared history.
Today is a time for quiet reflection, gratitude, and remembrance — acknowledging the courage, resilience, and commitment of those who gave so much so that future generations may live in peace.
Lest we forget.
