I recognise and acknowledge the NSW Vietnamese Elderly Friendship Association [VEFA] for organising the Vietnamese Family Day. I would also like to acknowledge the celebration of the 69th wedding anniversaries of a number of members on this special occasion. My heartfelt congratulations are extended to Mr Jack Ly and Mrs Wendy Trieu Ly, Mr Dinh Khoa Nguyen and Mrs Thi Thuoc Nguyen, Mr Nguone Thach and Mrs Thi Hen Chau. 69 years of marriage is an extraordinary journey that exemplifies the value of not only enduring love, but also commitment, mutual respect, compromise, and resilience. The endurance required to maintain a long-lasting marriage is additionally rooted in their Vietnamese marriage traditions and beliefs, which prioritize family and the well-being of children. I commend the couples for their incredible achievements. The invaluable lessons cultivated throughout their journeys are truly worthy of celebration and cherished by younger generations. I wish them good health, continued happiness, and joy together as they celebrate these remarkable milestones.
