ANZAC Day plays an instrumental role for Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch – a monumental day for all Australians to commemorate the selfless contribution of our past and present service men and woman.
On April 25th, the Stanthorpe community and visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in the rich and significant history of ANZAC Day and come together to Commemorate Your Way by attending a local ANZAC Day Service or Light up the Dawn from 6 am at home.
Martin Corbett, Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch President acknowledges the importance of Queenslanders supporting, recognising and participating in ANZAC Day – a day which encourages all Australians to reflect and honour those who have made immense sacrifices and those who will continue to do so for many years to come.
“More than ever, we are calling on the Stanthorpe community to stand together and honour our service men and women who have served and sacrificed for our nation – a day for us to take a moment and reflect on the legacy and values created by our defence personnel,” said Martin Corbett, Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch President.
“This year, we are urging all Queenslanders to commemorate your way – from getting out and marching with mates, to taking a moment of reflection at home. We encourage everyone to honour our veterans, however that may look for you.
The Stanthorpe Dawn Service will be held at the Memorial in Weeroona Park, Marsh St starting at 5.30 am followed by a Gun Fire Breakfast at the Stanthorpe RSL Services Club. A Parade will commence from the corner of Maryland and Folkestone Streets at 10.30 am concluding at the Memorial in Weeroona Park.
