Oatley RSL Anzac Commemorative Service

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I would like to recognise the team from the Oatley RSL Sub-Branch, who recently hosted the 2024 Oatley RSL ANZAC Commemorative Service. I had the privilege of attending the service at the Oatley Memorial Gardens and was joined by the wider community, as we paid our respects to those who have served and sacrificed for our nation. I would like to thank President Damien Cole, Treasurer Doug Torode, and Secretary Kevin Grimes for their hard work and organisational efforts this year. The Oatley RSL Sub-Branch has been operating for over 80 years and this is thanks to the hard work of the executive committee. Through their efforts, the traditions and solemnity of ANZAC Day are upheld year after year. Of course, ANZAC Day is a chance to remind ourselves of how lucky we are to live in this beautiful nation. The privileges and freedoms we enjoy today are built on the sacrifices of Australia's brave servicemen and women. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those who have served and continue to serve. May their sacrifices never be forgotten. Lest We Forget.
