  • It is such an honour to be named after a man who gave the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom. His spirit lives on in our family. He had one son Michael James O'Malley who had eight children. To attend dawn service in his memory and all the other men and women who gave so much for our freedom. We will never forget them
