On November 11th we remembered those who lost their lives in wars.
Remembrance Day services took place in many places in the region, including Cannonvale, Bowen and Proserpine.
At the Cannonvale Remembrance Day service almost 50 were in attendance including Mayor Ry Collins, Councillor Clay Bauman, and Councillor Jan Clifford.
Treasurer of Airlie Beach – Whitsunday Sub Branch John Schweitzer spoke on half of the president.
“Today was originally attempted to mark the ending of World War One, the war to end all wars,” he said.
“However, our history has shown World War One was not the war to end all wars.
“Today, we remember not only those during World War One, but all the servicemen and servicewomen we lost and were injured during all wars.
“When you remember those no longer with us don't remember them as older veterans with a bunch of medals, remember them as young soldiers, airmen and sailors full of life with a smile on their face.
“We also ask you to spare a thought to all families left at home while their loved ones are serving in some country on the other side of the world.”
