Anzac Day
We are collectively very lucky to be given the opportunity to choose where to live.
And many have been maimed and killed to help give us this privilege.
Lest We Forget.

Up for the Dawn Service with Scouts and then our 2 did a reading each at the Service run at my work (Retirement Village). The old folk loved them and they did a great job reading The Lord's Prayer and Psalm 23. So proud of them

Watched a bit of the parade in Perth this morning on TV - Aussie soldiers/sailors/airmen can't march for shit. Saying that, those Royal Navy dudes from HMS Tireless weren't much better
What the f**k did they learn in basics?

Re: Anzac Day
I will say this:
at my local RSL there were more medals and silverware in evidence than I ever saw during the Cold War. Our boys from both sides of the equator have been busy this last 10 years. Respect.

Re: Anzac Day
Medals don't mean shit unless awarded for bravery,they just mean ya was there,nothing else.
