A comment to the Eureka Council from

His Excellency
Major General Michael Jeffery AC CVO MC
Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia

Your Excellency, what is the importance of our Anzac Heritage in defining our national character?

“Younger Australians are finding a national sense of expression on ANZAC Day as they absorb our proud military history, as they learn of the deeds of their great grandparents, and of more recent contributions to improving regional and global stability.

Increasingly with the passing years the dawn ceremonies, reflections and re-unions are giving deeper meaning to the term ‘ANZAC spirit.’”

His Excellency then went on to say—

“Today, Australians are deployed in many locations around the world where they continue to enhance our reputation as a professional and compassionate Defence Force.

Compassion is a powerful instrument for good and the genuine willingness of Australian servicemen and women to lend a hand brings great credit to them and to our country.

Wherever our troops are operating, their objective is the same - to help bring peace and stability to the countries they are supporting.

May God continue to protect and sustain them in their duties, and return them safely and soon to their families, friends and loved ones”.
