Anzac Day

Postby MacStill » Tue Apr 24, 2012 7:46 pm

Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow, I'll be having a beer for My old grand dad that passed a couple years back that marched every year till he croaked.

Bottoms up Neil, I know your watching ;-)

A Tribute to ANZAC Day

With their hair a little whiter, their step not quite so sure
Still they march on proudly as they did the year before.
Theirs were the hands that saved us, their courage showed the way
Their lives they laid down for us, that we may live today.

From Gallipoli's rugged hillsides, to the sands of Alamein
On rolling seas and in the skies, those memories will remain.
Of airmen and the sailors, of Lone Pine and Suvla Bay
The boys of the Dardenelles are remembered on this day.

They fought their way through jungles, their blood soaked desert sands
They still remember comrades who rest in foreign lands.
They remember the siege of old Tobruk, the mud of the Kokoda Trail
Some paying the supreme sacrifice with courage that did not fail.
To the icy land of Korea, the steamy jungles of Vietnam
And the heroic battle of Kapyong and that epic victory at Long Tan.

Fathers, sons and brothers, together they fought and died
That we may live in peace together, while at home their mothers cried.
When that final bugle calls them to cross that great divide
Those comrades will be waiting when they reach the other side.

My 14 year old son joined the Navy Cadets this year, so he will be marching in two services, it will be a great experience for them.
Even on a Friday night at 10.00 pm watching 70 odd young guys and girls saluting the Australian flag as it is lowered is a touching sight, especially when you see what trouble and strife others of that age are getting up too.

So I will be there at dawn

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.

Respect to all the fallen who fought and paid the highest price so we could have our freedom, Thank you all.JayD...
