Remembrance Day - Lest We Forget

Liberal Party Victoria
As Australians pause at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, we unite in solemn reflection to honour the men and women who have served our nation in times of war, conflict and peacekeeping.

Remembrance Day is a time to acknowledge the courage, sacrifice and enduring legacy of those who have worn our uniform with pride.

Shadow Minister for Veterans Affairs, Tim Bull, said Remembrance Day remains one of the most significant dates on our national calendar.

"While it marks the time the guns fell silent on the Western Front to end WWI, it is a day to honour all those who have not only made the ultimate sacrifice, but those who returned home carrying the physical and emotional scars of service," Mr Bull said.

Mr Bull said it is also important to recognise current serving personnel alongside veterans.

"Today's servicemen and women stand ready to protect our freedoms and uphold our values. Their dedication deserves our deepest respect and ongoing support,'' Mr Bull said.

"We must ensure that those who have served in any theatre are never forgotten. It's a responsibility we owe to every veteran."

Lest we forget.
