Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served." Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli against the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Pitcairn Islands, and Tonga, and previously also as a national holiday in Papua New Guinea and Samoa.
Also remembered in households around the world, like Seattle and Massachusetts where people don't forget sacrifices made others in the name of freedom.
Great post Budek.
Yesterday I was at Sydney Motor Sport Park and it was an awesome sight to see 200 mad bike track riders shut it all down and stand silent, heads down, for a minute. Not a peep or movement as they all reflected.
Of course the mayhem started again soon after but it shows a respect often not seen in the day to day.
Thanks TONINO for a special post !!!!
Great to see all those loves! hugs all
Great post, the Australians and New Zealanders in Gallipoli, gave it their all and lost many life's. I salute you, we should never forget these brave men.
