Words by Ashleigh Howarth
Thousands of people are expected to attend Anzac Day services across the Moreton Bay Region on April 25 to pay their respects to the brave men and women who have fought and made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation’s freedom.
Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings in 1915 and recognises the contribution of the 1.5 million service personnel who have served our country in all conflicts, wars and peacekeeping operations.
This Anzac Day, there’s no greater way to honour our Anzac’s than by attending an Anzac Day service and keeping their spirit alive.
