ANZAC DAY 2025
April 25, 2025
It only comes once a year but it is the time I remember my father who served Australia overseas in the Air force during WW2. He went away a young 22 y.o. and came back broken in body and mind but always believed it was the most important thing he did with his life. So every ANZAC day I go to the dawn service to remember him and lay flowers in his memory. (He died of his wounds in his 50's.)
To day it rained.
We all stood there in the rain and remembered. The young cadets stood there, in the rain, for the whole time, with no complaining but with respect.
As the dim light of dawn came into the sky the hunting eagles swept low over our heads as if they too added their thoughts to ours.
Less we forget.
