It is a sombre day for me today, its today that we remember those who lost their lives and fought wars thousands of miles from home. Many were not even at the peak of their lives, when they enlisted to fight alongside the commonwealths as we know it today. Specially, I want to pay tribute to a man who I grew to love as I did my own father. Sidney John Maguire an Ex Malayan Veteran who lost his life on the 25th April 2006 at the Dawn Service Parade in Auckland, New Zealand. It was a day I will never forget and a day that I wished I didn't have to memorialise with a tragic loss. Even though you are no longer with us, you are and always will be one of the special men in my life.
