Lest we forget, Our peoples bones lie together in foreign lands. Our sons. Our fathers. Our grandfathers, our great grandfathers. You see, ultimately skin does not discriminate in war. It bonds & lies together in earth. Together. I would like to acknowledge our men whose bones lie in foreign lands together & their mothers who cried for them. Moe mai ra e tama mā. E moe. I must apologise for the late message in regards to ANZAC day, my Koko is living his last days so life is about that right now but I did not forget. My son turns 17 today, an age of some of our young soldiers. May this film here that we should all watch remember these young men & serve as modern day tears for them who passed in war and did not return home. I can still hear the elders crying for their fallen. In the spirit of remembrance for their sacrifice, I still believe in this petition. The government has 90 days from when we presented it on the 27th March 2018 as per their process to come back with a result. I trust it will be the right one. Lest we forget.
