Today on Anzac Day we reflect on those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
The Northern Territory has significant history when it comes to defence and our capabilities.
ANZAC Day is a time to reflect on the 16,000 Australian and New Zealand troops who landed at what became known as Anzac Cove, and along with the 60,000 Australians, including 26,000 who paid the ultimate sacrifice, and who fought at Gallipoli during the war.
We pay tribute to the family and friends of our fallen diggers.
Lest we forget.
