INVERLOCH RSL held a special September 11 service on Monday, with the date not only a day to reflect on the tragic events that unfolded in the USA on that date in 2001 but also to remember modern day Australian military operations that followed the terrorist attacks on the twin towers and elsewhere.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has been actively involved in numerous military operations over the years following the Vietnam War and particularly in the post 9/11 era.
The ADF has been sent to Afghanistan, Iraq, Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands, as well as peacekeeping operations in Africa and the Middle East, and additionally maintains Australia’s border security.
Australian troops have made significant sacrifices in the name of peace, security and global stability.
“Recognising September 11 as a commemorative day for modern day ADF operations would allow the nation to reflect on the contributions and sacrifices of its service personnel and aligns with the spirit of international cooperation and solidarity,” Inverloch RSL president Ross Gabb said.
