I am ashamed to say, that I have not attended a dawn parade, until today. And this morning made me so incredibly proud to be a New Zealander. Had very wet eyes after the service and felt so proud of the men and women marching in the parade.

I haven't taken much interest in ANZAC since my days of Girl Guides....during the last week I have been at school remembering with the young ones, it really causes one to stop and appreciate just how big a sacrifice those wonderful men and women made for our lives.

What causes me concern today is that as we remember the past we need also to look at today and where some of our soldiers are, God Bless them and keep them safe.

Better late than never... good on you. You'll be there next year.
A poignant morning for me... my first ANZAC day since my Dad (K Force) passed away. I have had a tradition of phoning him on my return from the dawn service. Mum got the call.
A good turn out at the NP cenotaph

I know that feeling mate,

I have been in NZ for 12 years and attended my first dawn parade last year. It really is a moving experience.

We all bang on about how hard life can be especially as young 'uns. You see these late teen / early 20 YO's around town, especially in the corporate environment, basically wanting everything on a plate and prepared to kick the shite out of anyone to get it (not physically of course, they have no balls) I'm talking about the sorts who think The Apprentice is their goal in life.

Then you look at the dawn parade and the guys there who, rather than dodge questions in the boardroom, were dodging fucking bullets at that age so these go getters of today have the freedom to fuck people over.

I know times and society has changed but you have to give these guys who made so many sacrifices for us the respect they are due.

Good on you for sharing that emotion, it hit me the same way. Made me proud to be English and proude to be living here

Lest we forget .......... dulce est decorum pro patria mori, Wilfred Owen's ironic line from his poem. Respect to those who gave up so much in those dark times.

Touching experiance.

He was a disbatch rider on a BSA 250.

I have attended an ANZAC Service every year since I was 7 or so. These days I attend a very special community service in Leigh at the cemetry and War Memorial. I play the Last Post. It is just a little something I can do to make old men cry. Well, it is not just the old men actually. I cant listen to it at all while I play or else I get overwhelmed too. It really is an honour to do it. I get asked to play at funeral services too for my old mates, very humbling.

Didn't go this morning,..... um too early, raining.

Very bad excuses considering the fact me great grandad had no choice at all at Passchendale. He is still there.

i feel guilty now.
