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

Who got out to a dawn service? Who is doing something else today, playing Two-Up, having a beer, seeing mates, let's hear about it

My opinion of the ANZACs is the same as that of the armed forces of other commonwealth nations (the Canadians and Indians in particular): To fight with such courage and distinction in a war half a world away that they had no choice over entering truly is remarkable, and in many ways, more courageous than those who got directly involved from the start (not to demean that, though).

So yeah, major respect for those guys.
