Anzac Day

Bronwyn HALFPENNY (Thomastown) (10:34): Epping RSL organised yet again a beautiful Anzac dawn service, well attended as usual by many locals wanting to pay their respects and commemorate those who gave their lives for their country, sacrificing life and health to protect us all. Thank you to Kevin Ind, president of the Epping RSL, and all the RSL committee members. Lest we forget.

Earlier in the week I also had the honour of attending a commemorative evening organised by the Turkish sub-branch of the Victorian RSL. As usual, president Mr Ramazan Altintas organised a very moving event remembering the Johnnies and the Mehmets. Attended by many community leaders, Ange Kenos from Victorian RSL represented the president of the Victorian RSL Dr Robert Webster. There were also many parliamentary colleagues in attendance from both the state and federal levels, international guests and diplomats.
