Anzac Day - Lest we Forget

Sailor Steve · 04-24-12, 06:37 PM

That's today??? I guess I forgot.

A bloody mess that should never have happened, but Australia and New Zealands finest hour.

I salute them all.

"Those heroes that shed their blood
And lost their lives.
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.
Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies
And the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side
Here in this country of ours.
You, the mothers,
Who sent their sons from far away countries
Wipe away your tears,
Your sons are now lying in our bosom
And are in peace
After having lost their lives on this land they have
Become our sons as well."

It's tomorrow for you but today for us.

Unless you slipped across the date line without permission.

Had to do a reading at the local Dawn Service, reading Psalm 23 in 5 degree (Celcius) with a 56kph wind.
