It has been 100 years since the guns fell silent on the western front to mark the end of the Great War and today the Northern Gold Coast RSL Remembrance Day Service paid tribute to all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Lest We Forget.

Busy morning with the Australian Air Force Cadets selling Remembrance Day badges at Oxenford! These cadets are fantastic, we are running low on most items to sell. Don’t forget it’s 100 years since the guns fell silent on the western front. There will be a special service held at Helensvale Bowls club tomorrow morning.

The Northern Gold Coast once again hosted a number ANZAC Day ceremonies. Special thanks to North Gold Coast RSL Sub-Branch Inc, Rotary Club of Coomera Valley and our local schools for their involvement in today’s ceremonies. This year we celebrated 100 years anniversary of the unveiling of the Upper Coomera Cenotaph. (Official unveiling date 18th of May 1918.)

This weekend, please support our veterans, they will be selling ANZAC day collectables around shopping centres or if your after some lunch, come down to Bunnings Oxenford and grab a sausage on bread.

Yesterday's Vietnam Veterans Day at the Beenleigh RSL was a solemn service to remember all those who have served. Cr Darren Power received the great honour to be this year's guest speaker. Thank you RSL President David Draper for your efforts with the RSL.
