We will remember them
Lockyer Valley Regional Council will hold ANZAC Day ceremonies throughout the region on Monday 25 April.
Acting Mayor Tanya Milligan said the renewed respect surrounding ANZAC Day was pleasing to see.
ANZAC Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by current and ex-servicemen and women.
Over the past few years there has been a significant increase in attendance at ANZAC Day services, which highlights the respect our region, and the population in general, has for this day, Cr Milligan said.
