Shepp speaks | Remembrance Day

It is to acknowledge the soldiers who have fought for us and sacrificed a lot for our country and done a lot for our country.

Devon Parsons, Heathcote

It’s to remember the old ones. The ones that went away and never came back, and their families. I was lucky, I never went overseas, but I know plenty who did.

Alana Lee, Shepparton

It’s important to respect the sacrifices made by service personnel over the years.

Lottie Palmer, 11, Shepparton

To remember the soldiers who have passed away, and their families, and those currently serving.

Denise Fennell, Lima East

It means two things to me. My father-in-law, Ron Fennell, who has recently passed, was in national service. And my father’s pop John Hargraeves in World War I was a runner in France.

Brian Guilmartin, Shepparton

It’s remembrance of the people who sacrificed their lives — particularly in the first and second world wars. There’s been a lot of sacrifice.
