19.01.2022 REMEMBRANCE DAY Every year at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month we pause for a minute to remember the service, courage and sacrifice of those who have served their country. We pause to remember those who lost their lives in the line of duty and those who fought for the freedoms we have today. While this year we are unable to gather at local cenotaphs or at the Shrine, there will be a virtual Remembrance Day service broadcast online via the Shrine ...of Remembrance Facebook page from 10.45am. Or simply pause for a minute, where ever you are. #remembranceday20 #victoriaremembers #redtoremember
