Lest We Forget

Yesterday was ANZAC Day. Far more than Australia Day, this is the day that Australia thanks and remembers its soldiers, past and present. In that uniquely Australian way, it is celebrated with a dawn service, a laying of wreaths, an extremely well-attended street march (in the main street of every town and city in the country) and games of two-up. Pixy has an extremely good summary of what ANZAC Day is all about. From the shores of Gallipoli to the sands of Iraq, it makes me ever prouder to be an Australian.
