REMEMBRANCE DAY

Ms JODIE HARRISON(Charlestown) (01:34:10):Every year the eleventh day of the eleventh month is reserved for solemn reflection and remembrance. One hundred and two years after the armistice was signed, Remembrance Day has come to commemorate the sacrifices made by soldiers from all over the world for that most important cause: peace. Ipay tribute to men and women of the Charlestown electorate who have served their country in uniform, both those who returned and those who now rest in foreign fields. This year RemembranceDay takes on an added meaning as so many Australians were unable to commemorate AnzacDay due to lockdown measures. Ipay tribute to services around the Charlestown electorate, particularly at Dudley and Cardiff. While Icould not attend personally this year, Iwould like to commend the memory of our fallen warriors to the House. Lest we forget.

A Community Recognition Statement is an opportunity for an MP to give a short speech praising the work of an individual or group in the local community. If you have any ideas about people I can recognise with a Community Recognition Statement, please email and let me know!
