Members of our RSA, including Greg Camburn and Sam Gambling, attended the U.S. Memorial Day Service on Sunday as an opportunity to pay their respects, recognizing service and an enduring partnership.

Honoured to attend the U.S. Memorial Day Service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum this afternoon. It was a chance to pay respects, alongside veterans and their families, to those who gave their lives in service, and to recognise the enduring partnership between New Zealand and the United States of America.
