Craigieburn War Memorial and Remembrance Committee will host a series of commemorative services at Anzac Park on April 25.
Local residents are invited to pay their respects to the Australian men and women who have served or are currently serving their country.
The dawn service will commence at 6am at the Craigieburn Anzac Park, on the corner of Aitken Boulevard and Central Park Avenue.
A second service will take place at 10am.
The Craigieburn War Memorial and Remembrance Committee is expecting 2000 people to attend and have requested that people arrive 15 minutes before the services commence.
Committee member David Manning has been recognised by Kalkallo MP Ros Spence for his peacekeeping service across the Western Sahara and East Timor.
“It was an honour to be chosen to be included in the United Nations missions by the United States Government as well as my military and police superiors,” Mr Manning said.
Each year Ms Spence runs a profile on local veterans who have served in the army. The annual tribute brochure includes a profile of a veteran with a biography of their service history.
This year Mr Manning will feature in the brochure for the Anzac Day 2023 veteran profile.
