RE: Gallipoli: Birthplace of the ANZAC legend
Another hard story to read, but well-written and informative. It's sad to think of so many men who just had received their own country and were compelled to march off and die in someone else's country. It's sad to think of all the families that didn't have loved ones come home. It's sombering to remember their sacrifice, but important to honor their memory.
I agree, honoring them is the least wea can do. We have just returned home from the dawn service this morning. We went to the one in a place called Houghton which is a tiny community of around 60 or so people in the Adelaide Hills. A stunning location. There were 2,000 people there including the Army, Air Force and Navy and the service was really nice. Very emotional. Anyway, home for some breakfast now and then catching up with some military mates; Someone has to be there to keep them out of trouble. :) Just kidding. We’re having a BBQ and catching up to tell lies and tall tales.
That's nice it was so well-attended. It's not easy to get up so early but when it means that much, it helps lighten the load. Also, coffee helps, if you're into that.
So fun! That's one of the great things about not living day-to-day life with your buddies, you can all lie to each other about what's going on... then the truth comes out, but at least you get to make up fun stories. :)
