00:00 You taught generations of young people about the horrors of war.
00:03 You lived lives of quiet dignity and dedication in your homes,
00:08 workplaces, communities.
00:11 Yet with each passing year,
00:14 it falls now to those of us who listened in awe to your stories
00:18 to pass them on to our own children and grandchildren.
00:23 Because only by remembering can we make certain that the cause you fought for
00:30 that so many of your friends and colleagues died for
00:33 that great cause of freedom, peace and democracy
00:38 will never be taken for granted.
00:41 That is why we come here today.
00:44 That is why we honour our veterans now and always.
00:49 And that is why I ask those who can to now rise.
