Anzac Day approaching

[Willie]

Next Tuesday.

When your having your first Rum and Coffee before the Dawn Service, and remembering the fallen as Reveille is played, please also remember those presently deployed around the world in many different locations, doing their duty for this great country and securing OUR future. (And their loved ones, waiting at home for their safe return)

Lest we forget.

Cheers.

[Suby Wan Kenobi]

Nor should we ever forget them

Lest We Forget.

Four generations of my family have gone to war to hold the faith.
I walk in the shadow of men and women that take the good fight to the enemy and i stand in awe at the sacrifice they make to keep our country safe.
Our hearts go out to the units far from our shores and hope they remain safe.


Lest we forget

I hope the anzacs and current service men and women had as good a week as possible...
we should never forget what war is, never forget history, never forget those killed in the name of country,
and never forget for the most part what it was about.

Although personally have no direct connection with anzacs here, but god knows where i'd (or the parents) be if the Allies hadn't stepped up and opposed the nazis and what they stood for......

However politicians all too easily forget, and would and could and (do) with stroke of a pen wipe away many freedoms and ideas that wars were once fought over.........

Politicians give condolence and words about our fallen, yet had arranged penny pinching means of returning them...thinking of our latest young soldier who died in service...
and how many years it took for veteran affairs to recognize and acknowledge the effect of Agent Orange on Vietnam vets....

One duty of Anzac day is to make bloody sure the politicians (supposedly our representatives) don't bloody forget either!
