The Aussies reading this will most likely have today off
It’s a public holiday for pretty much everyone
A great day to spend outside, weather permitting
Hanging out with family
Enjoying their free day
.
I hope that all of them take some time to remember why we have this day off
And I hope everyone appreciates
The sacrifices given
The sacrifices that continue to be given
So that we have these freedoms
Many of us take our lifestyle
Our way of living
And our freedom for granted
Let’s make sure today is the one day we don’t
LEST WE FORGET
(my Pop in last year’s ANZAC day march)
They shall not grow old as those that are left grow old. Age will not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we shall remember them. Lest We Forget
Well said Jen!
I shall not forget.

Respect to those that have passed, those who remain and those who bravely continue…Salute!
My wife and I are Poms. But her grandfather served with the ANZACs (in the Kiwi formation – it’s a long story) at Gallipoli and the rest of the war in Palestine. He survived the war, but the nightmares of what he went through there tortured him for the rest of his short life (he died in 1923, aged 37).
We will not forget.
