ANZAC DAY

April 25th, 2007 at 09:19 am

Today is the day that we as a nation, remember our soldiers who fort and lost their lives for us making our nation the spirit it’s today. Every soldier tries to live up to that spirit and courage of those who lost their lives today on the morning of the 25th April, the date of the original landing of Australian troops at Gallipoli (Turkey) in 1915 and all wars and actions since. With dawn service here at 4.29am in heart of our cities which thousands go too then stay to watch the match at 10am in the streets or watch it on TV. I listen to radio this morning for the dawn service from Canberra War Memorial. Some of you may ask what does ANZAC stand for Australian New Zealand Army Corps. Have a look at the movie Gallipoli if would like to know more.

Less we forget

    That was very interesting. I like learning such unique things about a culture that at first glance is similar to my own, but when you dig underneath the surface there is so much more there. The photo of the candles at dawn was strikingly beautiful.

    We just wave flags and have parades over here.

    At the dawn service in Canberra War Memorial,over 30,000 people were there.

    Thousands of young and old Australians make the to trip to Gallipoli in Turkey for ANZAC day.

    They are pasting on the baton to the grandchildren now! only one left from WW1 now.
