Attendees at Kingaroy’s Anzac Day commemoration were reminded of the importance of the “Anzac spirit” and the sad fact that one day it may be called upon again.<\/p>\n

Flight Lieutenant Glenn Samuel was the guest speaker at the morning commemoration service which also included a reading of the Roll of Honour, the laying of wreaths and several hymns.<\/p>\n

The service followed a march down Kingaroy and Haly streets by veterans, their families, community groups and schoolchildren.<\/p>\n

After a long career in the defence force, Flt Lt Samuel is now a training officer at the Defence Force School of Signals at Cabarlah.<\/p>\n

He said Anzac Day was not just a date of some remote campaign … it was a spirit.<\/p>\n

“It is a time to reflect on the past generations of Australians who during hardship displayed courage, discipline, self-reliance, self-sacrifice, resourcefulness and friendship,” he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Even if the numbers of ex-servicemen and women grow smaller, the spirit of Anzac Day which we inherited from the battlefields long ago lives on because it is a reflection of the very heart of our nation.”<\/p>\n

Flt Lt Samuel said Anzac Day reminded Australians that wars are to be avoided.<\/p>\n

“But when necessary, we must stand up for our values,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It requires us to reflect on the past with pride but also to look ahead and build on the achievements of our predecessors by displaying the characteristics of the Anzac spirit\u00a0 …<\/p>\n

“As the world today navigates troublesome and challenging times, Australia may once again find itself in harm’s way. And if those undesirable circumstances arise, there is no doubt the Anzac spirit will once again be called upon.<\/p>\n

“Lest we forget.”<\/p>\n
