Darren Chester urges Gippslanders to honour Anzac Day and recognise all who have served our nation's defence forces
Federal MP Darren Chester urges Gippslanders to attend Anzac Day services, honouring past and present defence personnel and reflecting on the sacrifices made to protect Australia's freedom and national security.
Gippslanders are being urged to attend their local Anzac Day service and commemorate all Australians who have served in the defence force by Federal MP Darren Chester. Mr Chester, who is also a former Minister for Veterans' Affairs, says Anzac Day is much more than a public holiday and is an opportunity to give thanks to the men and women who continue to serve us today.
Darren Chester's support and credit goes to four local veterans whose dedication secured funding - thank you for supporting this vital community-led project
Honoring Anzac Day
Mr Chester said, "Anzac Day is not about glorifying war or conflict, quite the opposite. It's our chance to pay our respects to the 102,000 people who have been killed wearing our nation's uniform and protecting the freedoms we all enjoy today."
"We live in challenging geopolitical times, and our national security is a critical issue. On Anzac Day, we must remember all those who have served in the past, but also pledge to support the current members of the Australian Defence Force who keep us safe."
"On Anzac Day, we have the opportunity to gather as a region and demonstrate our respect to all who have served, and continue to serve in 2025," said Mr Chester. Check details of Anzac Day services in your region with local RSL branches.
