Except Personal Attacks

ANZAC Day

We took three grandchildren to the Carterton ANZAC day ceremony this morning. It always surprises me that each year there seems to be more and more. As the old soldiers depart, young people seem to increase the total numbers attending.

Lovely photos Michael and very moving.
Yes its surprising here how many folk are into the 1940s era here.
There are re-enactments countrywide and they pay the earth for authentic clothing and vehicles to wear or use. The big band sound makes a comeback too and folks make a long weekend of the venues.
They are all young folk who seem to be wrapped up in those years which is I suppose a good thing to keep them occupied and away from drugs but I cant help wondering how they would have been if it WAS real life.
..........................


WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.


God Bless Them All.

My personal tribute to all whom fought in both World Wars.


Remember all those who have fallen in wars within these last hundred years
Leaving behind their loved ones to grieve and shed their heartbroken tears.
Many thousands buried in other countries and some without a known grave
Sacrificing their lives fighting for freedom so that our lives they could save.

Remember as you go about your daily routine what they all endured for you
And remember them all with pride in your heart in everything that you do.
Husbands, lovers, brothers, sons or uncle who lost his life in his freedom fight
They helped to quell the enemy and to bring the world hope and a ray of light.

So each and every one of them were heroes who are remembered on this day
And may the good Lord keep them in his care and help the sorrow go away.
I wear my poppy with pride as I remember all nations that fought and died
They took on a mammoth task of freedom for all from which they never shied.

My poppy is a token of my deepest respect for all who gave me a full life
As well as those who fought in other wars to stem any ongoing strife.
YES I am very proud to wear my poppy on this special Remembrance Day
God Bless the souls of all who lost their lives in any world wide affray.
