A few years ago, I was in Canberra, Australia on ANZAC day. Toured the war museum and watched the remembrance ceremony. The memorial there, and the ceremony, is something that I can’t describe with words. We shall never forget.

My Daddy told me what great people they are as he was there during WWII. Only problem was his inability to understand the lingo.
