'79 years ago there was a hard fight here for our freedom. Tonight we reflect on all the people who gave their lives.
What would you do? Watch or help?
Alone or together?
By learning from our history, with its sometimes painful but also valuable lessons, we can all create a better future. A future where it is hopefully less about 'me' and 'you', and more about 'us'.'
