Anzac Day - Remembering those that fought for our freedom.
Today in Australia and New Zealand, we remember our brave soldiers who fought in the first world war, and the massive number of soldiers we lost at Galipoli in Turkey.
Today there have been moving comemorations and gatherings at dawn in all parts of the country.
Now sitting quietly, reflecting while writing this small blog and wishing for peace in the world.
Do good and keep safe WA family and friends.

Hi Helen, thank you for sharing this post on Anzac Day. I think it is important to acknowledge those who have made sacrifices for us.
All the best,
Michael
Hello Helen,
Your blog may be few in words, but it is not diminished in meaning.
It is a good deed to appreciate the sacrifice that other people offer for us to live peacefully and comfortably in this world.
Well done; your presentation is so beautiful.
Hope you all at WA enjoy a blissful week ahead.
Hi Helen, a day of remembrance, for relatively young nations the sacrifices were huge, it is good that we do take the time for reflections

They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; they fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall not grow old, as we are left to 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.
We will remember them.
