"On this day we remember the sacrifice of such men and women for an ideal--for a way of life. Let us take strength in the knowledge and hope that our sons and daughters will never forget the example set by their forefathers..."
"We think of every man, woman and child who, in those crucial years, died so that the lights of freedom and humanity might continue to shine. We nurture too the obligation of showing gratitude for the peace we enjoy and the responsibility of ensuring that the freedom and liberty so dearly won is not lost by our own indifference."
- Mr R C Crosthwaite, OAM at the Commemoration of Anzac, Hyde Park South, Sydney
