"I'm very proud to be Australian. I'm very proud to have served my country overseas albeit in a peace keeping role. I'm very proud of those sort of things and I'm very proud of everybody else in our country who has served in whatever capacity. I have two young children and I want them to understand you know way back to the early times of conflict of Australians being overseas and internally in Australia. I want them to understand that so yeah sure I'll be, I'll be helping and I know they do a great job in schools these days of teaching young children and yeah sure we'll be out there. I'll take the kids along to the Anzac Day parades and I think they'll enjoy it yeah."
