RSL Queensland is calling on the Gympie community to Remember to Remember on Monday 11 November with a minute’s silence at 11am to honour the service and sacrifice of our fallen service personnel.
Services around Gympie region will be hosted by RSL Sub Branches, inviting people to commemorate the lives of those who died or suffered for Australia in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
RSL Queensland State President Major General Stephen Day DSC AM is encouraging all Queenslanders to take a moment this Remembrance Day, wherever they may be, to pause and remember those who served for our country.
“It is important that we continue to observe Remembrance Day to safeguard their legacy and remember the ultimate price they paid was not in vain,” said MAJGEN Day said.
“The services held across the state by our many RSL Sub Branches help ensure the stories and sacrifices of our veterans are not forgotten.
“While Remembrance Day falls on a Monday this year we ask all Queenslanders to Remember to Remember wherever they are – whether that be at work, school or home – and pause for a minute’s silence.”

Gympie – Memorial Lane Cenotaph, 166 Mary St, Gympie starting at 10.30am
