Hundreds attended the Hampton Park Progress Association’s ANZAC Day Dawn service.
Hampton Park Progress Association president Luke Delutis said they hosted the dawn service to not only honour those who had made the ultimate sacrifice for the nation, but also for their families and the survivors who forever wore the scars that the horror of war brought.
“People whose lives will never be the same again,” he said.
“Let us learn from the devastation of war that this day reminds us of, and let us find better ways towards peace in our world to avoid such devastation again. This is the least we can do to honour the fallen.
“Lest we forget.”
The dawn service was moved indoors this year due to likely rain. Master of Ceremonies Damien Rosario led the proceedings.
Special guests included incumbent Holt MP Cassandra Fernando, Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas, City of Casey Councillors Lynette Pereira and Shane Taylor.
