I don't see any other non military civilian organisation coming together like this, amazing patriotism!
Today I shared a powerful momentโฆso I had to record it.
My young people honouring our war heroes through the legacy of the Mฤori Battalion.
These young people have been raised under my leadership...carrying a purity, a strength, and a deep respect for God, country, and those who went before us.
For those watching overseas...today is ANZAC Day here in New Zealand.
A sacred day where we remember the men and women who served, fought, and gave their lives in WWI & WWII for our nation.
This isnโt just a song...itโs the ANZAC spirit.
A legacy of courage, sacrifice, and strength that still lives on in this generation.
"Maori Battalion march to victory
Maori Battalion staunch and true
Maori Battalion march to glory
Take the honour of the people with you
We will march, march, march to the enemy
And we'll fight right to the end
For God! For King! And for Country!
Au e! Ake, ake, kia kaha e!"
Today, that honour was carried forward.
Lest we forget.
