  • It's is with great humility and honor that my whanau and I pay tribute to you today, Anzac 2017. We live on today and tomorrow and will never forget, but always remember. We achieve, learn, grow, love and pass on to the next generation, your descendants all the hopes and dreams you held for us back then. There are never enough words or the right ways to say how grateful we feel for bravery beyond comprehension. I strive today with your bravery by my side as thanks.
