They are so reflective of the type of leadership that is both morally and spiritually necessary. That type of courage is the basis of all other virtues, and to possess it and to exercise it makes a man and a leader of men whose influence continues to shape others. It also reveals the type of family such men come from. My thoughts and prayers today are with you all, from Canada.

Your Dad spoke about you, and shared with us what a caring and wonderful man you are. On behalf of all Australians I want to thank you for your sacrifice, in order that the world can be a better place for all. We have a memorial wall at my workplace dedicated to you, and other Jewish servicemen who died while serving in the defence of Australia. I have the honour and privelidge of looking after the gardens that surround this memorial wall, and I take great pride in these gardens as they are the least I can do to honour the ultimate sacrifice you have made for us.
My son Rex has now joined you. Please keep an eye out for a blonde haired little 5 year old. He’s a cheeky bugger!, so if you can Greg, just keep an eye on the little bloke for me.
Thanks Greg, your memory will live for ever.
Special thanks to your Mum + Dad for sharing your life with me, and taking the time to chat with me. We now share a special bond as parents. Thanks Greg for bringing us together.
Warmest regards to Felix + Yvonne, and the entire Sher family. My thoughts are with you.

In “Anatomy of Courage” by Lord Moran, these are only SOME of the quotes Gregory had highlighted:

- “A few men had the stuff of leadership in them, they were like life rafts to which the rest of humanity clung for support and for hope”

- “In the presence of danger man often finds salvation in action”

- “Only by the birth of a proper attitude to danger can we hope to
discipline the frailty of flesh”

- “Courage is a moral quality; it is not a chance gift of nature like an
aptitude for games. It is a cold choice between two alternatives, the fixed
resolve not to quit; an act of renunciation which must be made not once
but many times by the power of will. Courage is will power.”

- “If a soldier is not cut out for war he should be scrapped forthwith for he
spreads the contagion of defeat.”

- “It is not the number of soldiers, but their will to win that decides the battle”

Such were some of the readings of Gregory Michael Sher who constantly reinforced his strength of mind, character, body and will.

ANZAC DAY 2012
