The Woy Woy/Ettalong/Hardys Bay RSL sub-branch will host a service at the Woy Woy Cenotaph on Thursday, November 11 to honour the lives of servicemen and women this Remembrance Day.
The service will begin at 11am and will include one minute’s silence to recognise those who served and gave their lives in service to Australia.
2021 marks the 103rd anniversary of the signing of the Armistice between Allied forces and Germany on 11 November 1918, which ended the First World War.
CEO and General Manager of Ettalong Diggers, Bill Jackson, said it would be the first time in two years the club has been able to properly commemorate the day, with COVID restrictions limiting access last year.
“It’s very important to recognise Remembrance Day – as much as Anzac Day – as its when we remember those who have fallen before us,” Jackson said.
“We honour their service to our country.
“The service will not be catered for however we will host a couple of luncheons for the RSL sub-branch itself.”
Jackson said the service was welcome to the general public but only for those double vaccinated.
The Vietnam Vets are also set to be hosting a service at the Ettalong Beach Cenotaph at 11am.
