Agreed, this country should never forget what many amazing men (& boys) and women did for this country by making the ultimate sacrifice.

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

Into town for Dawn Service then the Parade

Then to Alberton to watch the u/17s Port vs West with a mate

Those of you that have Foxtel, do your selves a favour watch the special on Weary Dunlop tomorrow, having read his war diaries what he went through to protect his boys was amazing....

for the next 40 years any of his POWs that came and saw him as patient - no charge....

The man had his faults but in short he is one of THE great Australians......

Have attended the dawn service at Barmera this morning.
Around 600 people there. Really lovely ceremony.

I go to a service every year.

Went to the Dawn service in Ceduna around 200 people.

I go to tea tree gully now. have a great new set up with a grassed area and then off to the RSL for some beers at geniune 1974 prices and some two up!. Cant wait to next year when i can take little carey18. Used to go into the city but found tea tree gully is more personal

Lest We Forget.

Went to the Dawn Service in Adelaide. It was great as always. The Aboriginal Servicemen were given special recognition, and deservedly so.

Another highlight was the pre-ANZAC DAY-match buildup, when TL chatted to 2 of the 'Rats of Tobruk'. My late Grandfather served in Tobruk. He had explained it as the worst experience of his life.

To me, ANZAC Day is our most important national public holiday to reflect and give thanks for the sacrifices of many that we can enjoy the freedom we do in this country.

Lest We Forget.

Watched the Currumbin early morning activities from my pad.
Also went for a walk to hear Powderfinger play.
But didnt play in the biggest two up game in the world.
