Anzac Day March

Today is ANZAC Day in Australia. ANZAC stands for Australia & New Zealand Army Corp...I think. It is the day Australians pay tribute to the men and women who served in the armed forces from the very First World War to the Iraq War now. More importantly for me it means holiday!

These brave men and women went to wars so we don't have to so the least I could do is pay them my respect today so off I went to the city to cheer them on as they marched from the city to the Shrine of Remembrance.

There were servicemen and women from all the different arm forces but what everyone's come to see were the old 'diggers' who fought in the older wars.

A lot of them couldn't even make it today. Some passed oredi, bless their souls...but some were persistent, wheelchair bound also want to join the march summore! Good on you boys!

This is far easier than the wheelchairs or walking, no sweat. Top speed 30km/h!

But some get too tired after a few yards so they got to sit on the vehicles and just wave to the crowd and enjoy the cheering!

But this digger die die also dunwan to give up! Must march by himself, with the help of his walking frame and carer accompanying him also. God Bless!
