Prime Minister Scott Morrison has thanked the 102,000 defence force veterans who gave their lives in service to make Australia a safer country today than it was in years past.

Speaking at the Doncaster Returned Soldiers League (RSL) on Nov. 11, Morrison said Australians came together on Remembrance Day to honour the lives of those who lost theirs to keep the county safe.
