Remembering the ANZACs

[Nuto vixen]

Just thought it would be appropriate to take this time to make a small gesture in memory of all the ANZACs who fought for this country and many others.

If you're unaware, ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Core.

We lost many thousands in Gallipoli, and many thousands in Vietnam, not to mention the smaller wars.

Real soldiers, going off to real wars in hopes of making our countries safer and protecting us from whatever it was they were fighting against.

Today is ANZAC Day in Australia, a day where we pause to remember those who went off to war and never returned, as well as those who returned unlike the people they were when they left.

At the end of the day, this is just a war game, but I think its important to pay tribute to those who have fallen as a result of the real wars that have gone on and the real lives that have been lost, sometimes seemingly in vein.

Lest we forget.

Sir - would it help if I shed a tear
I swear it’s the first time since this time last year
My spine is a tingle - my throat is all dry
As I stand to attention for all those who died

I watch the flag dancing half way down the pole
That damn bugle player sends chills to my soul
I feel the pride and the sorrow - there’s nothing the same
As standing to attention on ANZAC Day

So Sir - on behalf of the young and the free
Will you take a message when you finally do leave
To your mates that are lying from Tobruk to the Somme
The legend of your bravery will always live on

I’ve welcomed Olympians back to our shore
I’ve cheered baggy green caps and watched Wallabies score
But when I watch you marching (Sir) in that parade
I know these are the memories that never will fade

So Sir - on behalf of the young and the free
Will you take a message when you finally do leave
It’s the least we can do (Sir) to repay the debt
We’ll always remember you - Lest We Forget

Long live our heroes if not in person then in memory.

Never forget the sacrifices that were made for our freedom, I say thank you

[Robe]

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.

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.

I am a trumpet player and had the privilege of doing a few services today.
