80 years after World War II was fought on the soil of Papua New Guinea, today we as the people of this great nation stand together as one to pay homage and respect to the Soldiers who treaded the rugged mountains of the Kokoda terrain with the help and guidance of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels. The fallen unsung heroes, our forefathers who were never at war, who never started the war, who were never enemies to the Aussies nor the Japanese but who were caught in between the war that was brought to their land. We remember the steps they took not because of fear but mostly because of the giant of a heart they had to help the wounded soldiers. Today Papua New Guinea stands as one to show respect to the heroes who have all laid down in silence, we celebrate 44 years of Remembrance Day. Many business houses, government office, private sectors, schools and some public facilities in the country closed today to show respect to these War heroes. The streets of Port Moresby were very quiet and peaceful, with most people spending time with families at home whilst other headed down to the Remembrance Park at Ela Beach this morning to witness and join in the Remembrance Day Ceremony. PNG HAUSBUNG took to the mostly quiet streets of Port Moresby and asked the public what Remembrance Day means to them. Many expressed gratitude towards our Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels who sacrificed their lives during the World War II, many confessed that PNG owes its freedom to the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels and the Australian soldiers. Others stated that today is the day where we honour and remember the courage, sacrifice and the service of all who served during the war. Today we not only remember the fallen heroes, but we also thank their families and send them well wishes for the courage of their fathers. Lest we Forget.
