Commemorating ANZAC Day – 25 April 2009

[Stacey King]

Australian War Memorial - Canberra

ANZAC DAY is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day.

Today we Commemorate our loved ones and family and friends that served their countries in time of war:

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.
LEST WE FORGET...
