Ladies and Gentlemen,
On the solemn occasion of Anzac Day, observed each year on the 25th of April, Australians and New Zealanders unite to pay homage to a defining moment in our shared history - the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. It is a day of profound significance, as we pause to reflect on the valor, sacrifice, and unwavering camaraderie displayed by the Anzacs in the face of adversity.
The saga of the Anzacs is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. With courage as their compass and duty as their guiding star, these brave soldiers ventured forth into the unknown, bound together by a common purpose and an unbreakable bond of mateship. Their indomitable spirit and selfless sacrifice have left an indelible mark on the collective memory of our nations, serving as a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.
Anzac Day holds a sacred place in the hearts of Australians and New Zealanders alike, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who came before us. It is a day to honor the memory of the fallen, to pay tribute to their courage and commitment, and to reaffirm our solemn duty to never forget their sacrifice.
Yet amidst the solemnity of remembrance, Anzac Day also embodies the irrepressible spirit of the Australian and New Zealand people - a spirit characterized by resilience, humor, and mateship. As we gather with family and friends to commemorate this hallowed day, let us not forget to share a few lighthearted quips and enjoy the camaraderie that binds us together as a nation.
As we reflect on the sacrifices of the past, let us also spare a thought for those who continue to serve our country with honor and distinction today. Their unwavering dedication and selfless service are a testament to the enduring legacy of the Anzacs, and we owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be fully repaid.
So, on this Anzac Day, let us stand together as one nation, united in our reverence for the fallen and our commitment to upholding the values for which they fought and died.
Lest we forget.
Yours In Mateship,
Christos Harisopoulos aka Senator Papahatziharalambrous
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM!
