Anzac Day

Today is the day New Zealand and Australia remember the men and woman who had fallen in World War 1. ANZAC stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. So many people died in the war the families of those who died never saw their loved ones again, it must of been horrible. Last year I attended my first dawn service and it put it into perspective for me how serious and unfortunate those people who fought really were. It made me respect all of them for they sacrificed their lives to save the rest of us and gave the next generation a chance to live a normal life without war and destruction.   In New Zealand all over the country we hold dawn services and memorials to remember them. There are many cenotaphs over the country where we lay wreaths and play the last post which is a song that was originally played on a Bugel in the war. There are also a lot of World War 2 veterans that attend the memorials as they are the last veterans of the 2 world wars . Lest we forget.
