World War II Veterans are few and far between these days, however Sarina was honoured to see three of these national treasures attend the Sarina Anzac Day main service last month.
The three WWII veterans in attendance were; Mr Len Lister, 100, who served in New Guinea with the AIF 2/12th Battalion, Mrs Connie Turpin, 98, and Mrs Vonnie Deem, who will turn 101 in May.
The Sarina dawn and main Anzac Day services attracted large numbers, making the day a solemn yet beautiful occasion.
The Koumala service featured veterans, service personnel and students as well as horses and riders in Lighthorse uniforms.
Thank you to everyone who came out. It was amazing to see the Anzac spirit alive and thriving.
LEST WE FORGET.
