Caroline Springs RSL volunteers will be selling Anzac badges from April 17 ahead of the Anzac Day Dawn Service at the Caroline Springs War Memorial on Lake Street.
The community is invited to attend the service, beginning at 6am.
Caroline Springs RSL Sub Branch president Peter Burquest said honouring Anzac Day and Remembrance Day was special for veterans.
“Most veterans, particularly those who were front line troops, suffer these days from Post Traumatic Stress incorporating flashbacks and/or loneliness, aggressiveness, fear of confinement, crowds, failure and more,” he said.
“The day isn’t so much a day for us to remember our mates who’ve fallen in the fight and after, but more for us to share a moment with our communities and country to honour all our sons, fathers, husbands, uncles, grandfathers, brothers, daughters, sisters.”
Attendants are welcomed to lay a wreath at the service as per the program.
Bacon and egg rolls will also be on offer at the service as well and tea and coffee.
Following the service, the Caroline Springs RSL invites all attendees to join with the committee and members for the traditional gunfire breakfast at the West Waters Hotel complex.
