“We will Remember Them”

ANZAC Day, one of the most important holidays on the Aussie calendar. Even more important if you are in the defence force. So Sunday morning, I wake up at 4am, get dressed in my best business-style outfit, and head to work for the dawn service *yawn* lol. One day I would love to go to Gallipoli and see the dawn service there, for it must be spectacular. I have been attending ANZAC Day dawn services and marches since I was 14 and they always succeed in pinching that part of me that makes me cry when I see movies where people die, or have had a long hard life and finally get something good, you know the part I’m talking about ![]()
After this we had breakfast and had to wait 2 hours for the buses to the city for the march
I didn’t have to march but it wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t. At the end my mates and I went to an Irish pub (the only place in town that sells alcohol at that time of day
) and we drank and were merry lol. Pretty much it was an enjoyable day
After a few hours I decided it was time to go, considering I was meeting up with my friend Kalli!
After I got home a crashed out on the bed and fell asleep
Than came *knock knock* from Kalli at the door haha. We were both buggered and couldn’t be bothered going out so we just ordered Chinese and watched The Davinci Code.
A pretty successful ANZAC Day IMO :love:

I’m glad you had a good day. From what I gathered from your blog post, it sounds like ANZAC day is like Rememberance Day here. But we don’t make a huge deal out of it, or at least I don’t feel like we do.
