  • Thank you Koro for all that you did for our country and whanau I'm truly honored to be a part of who you are, I'm going to make it a priority to always get up before the sun rises on Anzac day and stand in a moment of silence to remember everything you and all your comrades did for us. Even though I have never got the chance to meet you I'll always know that you are apart of me. Moe mai ra e koro.
