An Australian soldier on the day he was evacuated from Anzac.Photo from www.anzacsite.gov.au:
Today is ANZAC Day. It is a day or remembrance.
My thoughts about today is that it is about remembering what our soldiers have done and are currently doing for us. It is not about the glorification of war. We must respect our soldiers. They put their lives on the line for us, so we can maintain the freedoms and lifestyles we have. Let us remember their deeds and hope that the current serving soldiers can come home alive and safe.
Sport is very Australian. We use it to show the respect and courage of our society. Today there are games of football in different codes showing their form of appreciation to our soldiers, both fallen and serving. Good luck to all involved and thanks.
"They shall not grow old, as we are that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."
"Lest we forget."
