Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been serving their country in every conflict from the Boer War to present day. Recognition will finally be given to those service men and service women on Sunday 10 November 2013. The newly built Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial will be unveiled by Her Excellency the Honourable Quentin Bryce AC CVO, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia; and the Chair of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial Committee, Auntie Marj Tripp, followed by an address by the Premier, Jay Weatherill.
