I was pleased to join RSL South Australia, veterans, and members of the Defence community this morning at the Breakfast of Remembrance.

We were fortunate to listen to the guest speaker, Cherisa "CJ" Pearce, reflect on her time in the Australian Army which included three operational deployments to East Timor in 1999, 2000, and 2006-07.

Cherisa spoke of the opportunities and challenges of service, and how she's now contributing to strengthen her local RSL branch.

I encourage everyone to take time out this Saturday to attend a Remembrance Day event. More details about this important day can be found here: www.rslsa.org.au/remembrance-day
