ANZAC Day 2025

The author is humbled to have had the opportunity to contribute toward the recent 2025 ANZAC Service onboard the USS Midway in San Diego, where he recited the Ode in Te Reo Māori.

Being a former soldier, the author is always looking to support the Australian and New Zealand defence forces if he is able to do so, if he supports the kaupapa/project.

It was an honour meeting the Australian and New Zealand Consul-Generals, their Excellencies Tanya Bennett and Katja Ackerley, as well as catching up with the bro Stan Walker again.

The author would like to acknowledge the Australian and New Zealand Consulates for this opportunity and would definitely like to see this continue into the future, even if I am not able to attend again.
