RESIDENTS of the Nambucca Valley are encouraged by ex-service organisations and community groups to attend ANZAC Day services across the region to honour the courage, sacrifice, and enduring spirit of our servicemen and women.
Whether at a dawn service, community march, or commemorative ceremony, these gatherings offer a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the legacy of those who served and continue to serve and the impact of conflict on our nation.
