  • Always have thoughts of what if's people or whānau like all of you guys never went to war it would be so much different. And when my dad Nuia told me of his mum's brother going to war and even his own brother blu being in the navy. I told my tamariki they were how proud. So Rema-D, Kryz-la, Rongomai-Ataahua, Ariki-Nuia and Sage-Kohika and Myself we Thank You and will always be proud to know you went without a selfish thought to fight for our freedom. Nga mihi
