lest we forget

We were in the Blue Mountains on Anzac Day, 2004. It was a wonderful day to be with my Australian family and in a beautiful spot. There were a lot of booths set up, we especially enjoyed visiting with the fire dept that had a booth there.

My husband (Vietnam Veteran) and I are both ex Air Force so we travel to Brisbane to march with our respective units. ANZAC Day is always a special day where we remember and give thanks.

Lest we forget.

As an addition to Jan in Va's post--do try to go and see the memorial in Bedford, VA. The sculpture is so skillfully done, you can "hear" the bullets striking the water and see one man carrying a wounded comrade up a wall!

yes lest we forget. my HD is retired navy and the whole ship loved your country and the people. A lot
hated to leave when they had to leave port. now that we know what Anzac day is for in your country we will remember.

And not just Australians, we New Zealanders also commemorate Anzac Day, after all we are the nz in Anzac. Often a day of refection here.

in the u.s. too many forget there were others involved in the wars of our history. it is not just us and the bad guys. thank you to all who have fought side by side with us. we are honored by the privilege to have served with you. lest we forget.
