Anzac Day

Here in Australia the 25th of April is a celebration and remembrance of those who have fought and died 

to defend our country.  

Today I attended the dawn service. I love going because it is something small that I can do to show

the respect and admiration I have for those who have allowed me to have the freedom I do. 

During most services someone will recite the fourth stanza of Laurence Binyon's poem,

'For the Fallen', which says:

" They shall grow not old, as we 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."

I have always loved this poem. It is just a simple way of expressing our respect for the fallen.

Lest We Forget
