There’s something about the eve of Anzac Day that makes you pause…
Not just to remember—but to really feel the weight of the stories that have been passed down through families.

I’ve grown up hearing them.
My mum’s dad…
swapping places in the trench for a cigarette…
only to watch his mate lose his life moments later.

A great uncle…
who carried more than anyone could see…
and eventually couldn’t carry it anymore.

And you start to wonder—
how much can one person hold?

The trauma.
The loss.
The things they saw… that we’ll never fully understand.

Yet because of them…

we get to come home.
We get to sit around the table with our families.

We get to build businesses, communities, and lives that feel safe.

That’s not something I take lightly.

As an ambassador for The Rising Sun Charitable Trust, I’m reminded that remembrance isn’t just about looking back…
It’s about how we show up now.

How we support those who are still carrying the impact of service.

How we create connection, understanding, and community for those who need it most.

Lest we forget.

If this message resonates, take a moment tomorrow…
not just to remember—but to reach out, check in, and connect.

What’s one small habit that strengthens trust in your business?
