ANZAC Day
Tomorrow, April 25, is ANZAC Day.
For those of you outside of Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC Day is the most important memorial day for Aussies and Kiwis.
ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is a memorial to a bloody conflict in Gallipoli, Turkey in 1915 where Australian and New Zealand soldiers were sent to the wrong beach by the British (yet another story), and faced a battle of certain death.
But now ANZAC Day is a day to reflect, give thanks, and pay tribute to all soldiers who fought in all the wars – WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan - and also to those who represented our country in peace-keeping missions to places like East Timor and Samoa.
So, I’d like to just say thank you very much to you all.
You served our country proud and have helped make this country, the best bloody place on earth! Well done!
