Transport
Vets
for Remembrance Day
Member networks of the NSW Taxi Council – RSL
Cabs, Manly Cabs and GM Cabs recently had the
honour and privilege of transporting some of our
respected Veterans for the Remembrance Day
Commemoration Ceremony held at The Sydney
Cenotaph, Martin Place on 11 November 2020.
They transported the Veterans along with their
guests from their respective residences to the
ceremony.
Mr Jack Van Emden, a Veteran who served in World
War II said "This is a day to remember all the friends
who I have not seen after the war. In Air Force, we
were drafted from all over Australia. Some came
from Western Australia, some from Queensland
and similarly from various other States. We never
see them again as they are too far away. Today we
remember them!"
When asked about travelling in a Taxi
for the ceremony, Mr Emden described
the experience as "very good" and that
he was "thankful to Manly Cabs for
providing the service".
In addition, one of the Taxi Drivers
from GM Cabs – London Taxis said,
"These respectful Veterans have
represented the country, protected
it and they absolutely deserve to be
treated respectfully. It is an honour for
me to provide service to our Veterans."
A COVID-Safe service was ensured to
all the Veterans, their family members
and guests, "Helping Heathy People
Stay Healthy". LEST WE FORGET.
