Peace and The Centenary of the Year of Peace
As we leave the Centenary of Anzac years behind us, let us, in 2019, the Centenary of the Year of Peace, continue the 1919 tradition of commemoration and celebration, celebrating peace by commemorating and honouring those who have sacrificed and still sacrifice for our peace. Let us honour the men and women who have served and who are still serving along with their families.
Let us remember both those who gave their lives and those who came home and are still coming home to daily live the horrors of war in their memory. In celebrating national peace, let us also look for ways to better support our veterans (and their families) who return home from conflict to find peace within themselves.
Peace Projects have already been held on Bondi Beach, NSW Government House, Wagga Wagga, Junee, Leeton and Narooma. Special school Peace Project assemblies have been held in a number of schools including Inaburra Christian School, Wattle Grove Public, Kooringal Public and Holsworthy High, Sydney Invictus Games and Rouen, France with more planned during 2019 and beyond.
The 2019 Peace Project encourages Australians, whether by birth of by choice, to join our friends across the world, to continue to hold Peace Projects - to stand together for peace, stand for veteran’s and their families, sing to remember and rethink remembrance for the next generation.
