Australian Army
Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (13:22): On a happier note, Wednesday 1 March was the Australian Army’s 122nd birthday. Our army has a long and proud history of service and sacrifice made by men and women who have worn the uniform since 1901. This constitutes some 2 million Australians. We should reflect on their accomplishments. Our army has been a national institution and professional fighting force since Federation. The army reflects Australian values, and those who put on the uniform demonstrate excellence every day at home and abroad. We congratulate and thank the army for its commitment and professionalism in service of our nation. Happy birthday, Australian Army, and best wishes for the years to come.
