Today at 11am, we pause to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
For our tomorrow, they gave their today.
We will remember them.

Remembrance Day stands for the generations of Australians who have served in our name.
Every Australian denied the chance to grow old. And everyone who came home, changed forever.
Australians have always fought for peace across the world and it was an honour to lay a wreath in their memory at the Changi Chapel and Museum in Singapore.
Lest we forget.

At this time of year, we come together to honour the courage and bravery of the Armed Forces and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
I want to give my thanks to those who have served and are still serving today. I know you and your families make huge sacrifices to keep our country safe.
My job is to make sure that sacrifice is honoured, both through the way we treat our Armed Forces and our veterans, but also through the country we build for you and for your loved ones.
We will give our Armed Forces the funding and equipment you need to keep this country safe, as well as the good housing, training, and support you deserve. This is a world where once again it’s become necessary to stand up for our values and stand alongside our allies.
Our memories of those who went before us give us strength to know we will never be cowed in the face of threats or aggression. And together we will build a country we are proud to serve, and a future that remembers and honours those who fought for our freedoms.
A Britain worth fighting for.
