Anzac Day
Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (10:02): A big thanks to Boronia and Bayswater RSLs, who hosted moving Anzac commemorative and dawn services recently to honour our fallen and to remember the sacrifices they made so that we may enjoy the freedoms and liberties that we have today. I also want to acknowledge Wantirna College, Boronia K–12 and Boronia Rotary, who also held wonderful services to mark the day, which I attended. A special mention also to acknowledge Ian Benier, a veteran and a Knox local who spoke at Wantirna College’s service about what Anzac means to him and who has over 20 years of service in the Australian Defence Force. His service took him across the globe. We thank Ian and his two sons, who followed in his footsteps, and every person who defends our nation.
