Squadron leader Michael Evans delivered the commemorative address and said he hoped the relationship between the service personnel and the town will continue into the future.

"We will hopefully begin a relationship between 44 wing and Nabiac that will enrich us both, particularly on these occasions where we stop and reflect on the sacrifices made in the defence of our great nation,” Mr Evans said.

In his address, Mr Evans highlighted the strength and courage shown by all soldiers more then a century ago. 

"It was a spirit built on the values that even as a young country, we held deep.

"Of loyalty to the man beside you, and respect for your enemy.

“It's about the courage, compassion, loyalty and heroism that the Anzacs demonstrated to the world and to those at home.

"They just did their best and their best was great,” Mr Evans said.

Many in attendance had a story to tell, like Janet Jones.

“My dad fought in the second world war.

“When we lost dad nine years ago we continue to march every year,” Ms Jones said.

For Stuart Weller, it is remembering his fallen comrades.

"It's to remember people I served with, people who have since passed away and to pass on to future generations what the generations before have done,” Mr Weller said.

The day also holds significant importance for Peta Styles.

“To me it’s absolutely everything.

“The respect you have for everybody who has been through war and just the continuation of respect for everyone and the generation to come,” Ms Styles said.

Secretary of the Nabiac RSL sub branch Helen Legg outlined her personal connection the Anzac Day.

“My father was in the second world war and my brothers were in the army and air force cadets.

“It’s just tradition in our family, remembering all those who have lost their lives and those who suffered,” Ms Legg said.
