On November 11th, we come together to honour and remember the brave veterans who have served in defense of our country. This day is not just a moment of remembrance, but an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have stood on the front lines of freedom. At 11:00 AM, we pause for a moment of silence to express our gratitude for their courage, dedication, and selflessness.

As we reflect on their service, let us not only honour their memory, but also commit to supporting and uplifting those who continue to serve.

This Remembrance Day, let us pay respect to all who have answered the call of duty, and recognize the profound impact their service has had.
