Remembrance Day is a day for Papua New Guineans to celebrate the memory of those who fought for us.
Governor General Michael Ogio said this during his address at the memorial service today at the Ela beach Memorial Park in Port Moresby.
Sir Michael said Papua New Guineans must celebrate the service given by these brave soldiers who died for our freedom.
He added that PNG as a young country must embrace the ideals of comradery and friendship in order to progress and develop.
“The example set by the dedication and bravery of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels is something that we all as citizens must aspire too.”
He also called on Papua New Guineans not to uphold such ethical and moral values so that they can also inspire and change future generations.
