ANZAC DAY

Anzac Day commemorates not only that dawn when men scrambled ashore at Gallipoli. It is a day to reflect on those who made the supreme sacrifice, to those who returned with the hope of peace and the promise of a brave new world, to those that are left who will grow older and wiser and who will never forget. Anzac Day a day of rememberance.
