because of these men and women Australia will go on
RESPECT FROM BRAZIL. GOD BLESS ALL YOU.
And God bless you and yours my friend.
I have recently signed my name on the dotted line, and vowed to serve my country and my queen in the australian army. its tributes like these that remind me of the oath i have taken, and make me so much more proud of the choice i have made. thank you
I'm Australian so when I'm older I'm going to be an Australian soldier because I'm a true Australian lest we forget
Rest In Paradise Fallen Warriors ❤️
I recently got accepted in the army, I've wanted to be a soldier my whole life. This video litterally made me cry. I'm so proud of our soldiers and honourd to be serving our Army when I enlist in July. Our soldiers are heroes and if you think otherwise you should not be breathing thattrue Australian air they defend for us. People insult police and soldiers, and then call the police to help becuase the just got mugged and need soldiers to protect there country. People like that make me sick.
David Pearce is my dad Rest In Peace father
GOD BLESS OUR AUSTRALIAN MEN AND WOMEN WHO WENT TO FIGHT FOR OUR NATION
if you are a true aussie play the song spirit of the anzacs this Anzac day
Play it everyday mate, Proud to be aussie
one of the best ones i have seen
God bless our beautiful country 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Respect.
Thanks vu co ml
Wow very moving. Read some of the lower comments, not sure why a tribute to men and women who serve and pay the ultimate sacrifice turns into a rant. All I know about the Aussies is when and wherever they have been let down or but in harms way by my Government( the British) Which Im not proud of when they do. The diggers stand tall side by side and say f..k em and thats why you guys are some of the best in the world. Respect to the Aussie soldier.
u have no idea how much theses means man thank u so much. i will carry this message to my uncle and people i know who are in service.
sooo sad for the young bloke
"lest we forget"
They went into battle Bravely with songs and cheer and the ones that came out without there mates still had a smile on their face. These blokes are absolute legends and deserve this. May all the troops everywhere stay safe including my 6 family members. and the fallen Rest In Peace. We are proud of you Aussies.
RIP to all our fallen soldiers you will never be forgotten, Anzac Day will forever be yours. we will always remember LEST WE FORGET 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺
24bravo will take the beers mate. Miss ALL you boys
At kapooka these guys faces were hung up to show the men that sacrificed themselves for australia. You don't forget those faces.
I’m Australian so when I’m older I’m going to be in the Australian army salute to all the Aussies that sacrificed their lives for our amazing country Australia one like for one salute
don't beg for like here kid that's not on buddy
Repect to all serving...thanks for the amazing courage and honour you guy's display out there! My prayers are to those members lost along with their families and friends
I can’t tell anyone how heartbroken I am by this, in the end it was all for nothing…
Some of those guys where 89`th, just a year older then me. It is a honor to die for your country's well being, but nobody should have to do that so young.
there so young! pay full respect to though men's who serve our country
We will remember them
Good luck to you, mate. I'm also joining as rifleman (or maybe a Combat Engineer)
I was injured in training and left the army, i am proud that i was an Australian soldier. Great tribute to our fallen
Man this is a beautiful Tribute, love it mate, keep it up, :,)
I can not thank anyone enough who is willing to fight and die for our amazing fucking country. I come from a military family and I’m so proud to be an Australian ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ to all our troops past and present
very good video man, keep up the good work
This is so beautifully done WE WILL NEVER FORGET THESE BRAVE SERVICE PERSONAL and what they have done to help make our world safer for all of us. I fully support the Australian defence forces in all they do to give us here at home the wonderfully safe and peaceful lives we live in Australia. I am the father of a serving Australian soldier and I am so proud of all the service personal
i love how they put there names in this. this is so touching
Put in the effort for fitness and training now. No better time than now to kick yourself up the arse into another gear. Better to teach yourself discomfort now than to learn it later and realise how much more you could have done when time was 100% your own. Best of luck!
I'm getting myself ready for my physical test to join the Australian Army and this is why to help continue these men's good work and to make my Late Grandfather a survivor of the 39th Battalion's Kokoda Campaign Proud
What can any person say, but I will try.
Behind are family and friends that will have to carry on through the pain knowing that their Dad, Son, Sister, and so on won't have chance to look into their faces or hear their voice.
Good video mate, and thanks to everybody for there nice comments, makes me proud to be a soldier :')
so very true mate
Thankyou...xx
Couldn't have made a better tribute, Merci Beaucoup and kudos for doing an amazing job!
RIP to all Australian soldiers serving alongside my country.

Thats becuase he was a hero. I hero never accepts that he is a hero, but every Australian in the Army is, whether it be Infantry to Communications. They all need each other to work effectivly as a team. Your Grandfather was a hero. I thank him.
i am proud to see the australian flag on uniforms,
i am proud to see the men fight for their country,
i am proud to see them come back dead or alive
and finally i am proud to be an australian.
RIP to the men who never came back alive you have done well.
Proud For You all , Many Prayers And R.I.P Let us Rest in Peace.
