The Cardwell RSL Sub Branch was once again delighted to welcome students and staff from Kennedy State School and Murray River Upper State School for its annual Remembrance Day sausage sizzle.
The visit provided an opportunity for students to come together with local veterans and community members, enjoy a meal and learn more about the significance of Remembrance Day.
During the gathering, students were given an address explaining the meaning of Remembrance Day, why Australians pause each year on November 11, and the importance of remembering those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

The occasion offered a valuable opportunity to pass this understanding on to younger generations, ensuring the stories, service and sacrifices of those who came before us are not forgotten.
Behind the scenes, the Cardwell RSL volunteers were kept busy, with the ladies in the kitchen and the men on the barbecue working together to provide plenty of food for their visitors. It was a wonderful turnout, and the Sub Branch was pleased to ensure nobody went home hungry.
The Cardwell RSL looks forward to welcoming students from Cardwell State School to its main Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cardwell Cenotaph, commencing at 11am on November 11.
As the community ready's to gather to pay its respects, remember their sacrifice.
Lest We Forget.
