00:00You taught generations of young people about the horrors of war.
00:04You lived lives of quiet dignity and dedication in your homes,
00:09workplaces, communities.
00:12Yet with each passing year
00:14it falls now to those of us who listened in awe to your stories
00:19to pass them on to our own children and grandchildren.
00:24Because only by remembering can we make certain that the cause you fought for
00:30that so many of your friends and colleagues died for
00:34that great cause of freedom, peace and democracy
00:39will never be taken for granted.
00:42That is why we come here today.
00:45That is why we honour our veterans now and always.
00:50And that is why I ask those who can to now rise.
01:00Please join me in giving our heroes the welcome they so deserve.
