This year in ANZAC week, it was an honour for the Afghan LEE Association to host a dinner bringing together members of the Returned and Services League of Australia, respected Australian veterans, and distinguished delegates from across the community. The evening provided a meaningful opportunity to strengthen mutual respect, reflect on shared values of service and sacrifice, and foster deeper connections between our communities. We are grateful to all who attended and contributed to making this gathering a memorable and significant occasion.

A special thanks to Hon Julian Hill the Assistant Minister for Citizenship, Customs and Multicultural Affairs, Gary Maas, MP for Narre Warren South , Belinda Wilson, MP for Narre Warren, Pauline Richard MP for Cranbourne, Lee Tarlamis, MP, Michael Galea, Jim Mehmeti the former Mayor of Greater Dandenong and Cr Stefan Koomen the Mayor of City of Casey for taking time to attend the dinner and deliver great speeches.

🇦🇫 Afghanistan Independence Day Mubarak! 🇦🇫

Today, our hearts beat with pride as we remember the courage of those who gave their lives so Afghanistan could be free. This day is not just about history it is about the blood, sacrifices, and love of a nation that will never bow down.
