ANZAC DAY

[vangough05]

To all us Aussies and Kiwis today is ANZAC Day when we remember those who fell in the World Wars and all wars since.

I hate wars and especially the shit going on in Iraq.

I 'm a party boy and party hard as the next man but when i reflect on all the bad shit man does to each other I remember ANZAC day and the long lost relatives that fought in wars past to make life better for all of us.

LEST WE FORGET.

Anzac Day


I sometimes think that all countries should do like the UK - the national war memorial is just at the end of the road where the Prime Minister lives - they have to drive past it every morning to go to work.

Hopefully it reminds them what happens when they get it wrong

Eric Bogle's classic lyrics still bring a tear to my eye      

His song is destined to be remembered as one the greatest anti-war songs ever written.

His own version is equally as powerful as this, his is both upsetting & unsettling.

Having both of my grandfathers wounded at Gallipoli makes it very personal.

Lest we forget.

Does it make any difference when when we get it wrong? The useless prime minister and cabinet could not give a flying fuck for our young dead!

Absolute respect for ANZAC DAY my thoughts are with you!

Nice one

Nice to see 100 years on world leaders learning the lessons of the past

to me the birth of Australia and New Zealand was at Gallipoli in the first world war

My Grandfather was an ANZAC and while up at the River Kwai a couple of years ago, I took a few snaps which are perhaps suitable for this thread.

I visited the River Kwai in 2001 but didn't get to the War Cemetries to pay my respect as I was with 10 other guys and they weren't interested

My Grandfather fought in Burma for years against the Japanese and fortunately he survived for me to have fond memories and times with him

I asked him a few times about his time in Burma but this was one subject he would "never" discuss

          Australia's most important day and so it should be.
