April 25th, is:
ANZAC is an acronym for:
AUSTRALIA,
NEW ZEALAND,
ARMY CORPS (Pronounce Cor)
Day.
First Up:
THANK YOU TO ALL THE DIGGERS WHO SACRIFICED YOUR LIVES TO HELP KEEP US FREE.
I’m posting this today because of how so many young people are selfish.
Granted many people forget about the sacrifices made so we can be free today.
ANZAC Day holds a special place in my heart, even though, to my knowledge, none of my ancestors served in the 1st world war, but I knew a family member who was in Darwin in 1942 when the Japanese attacked.
Thousand of men, women and animals gave their lives for us.
I don’t support wars, because in my opinion, they are started by males who want to be in control instead of accepting everyone is equal.
As I said, many people forget about the significance of the day.
Most will enjoy the paid day off to socialise, or get intoxicated.
Some will enjoy an extra Long Weekend.
Honestly, every employed person not working the day, must donate their days pay back to a support charity.
I’m sure many of the diggers who sacrificed their lives, would be turning over in their graves, if they knew about all the discrimination occurring:
Homophobia, Racism, Transphobia, Ageism, Ableism.
Australia is supposed to be a 1st world country, however, with so much Homelessness, and Unemployment, I’m embarrassed to call myself Australian.
Everyone should take stock of their lives, and be grateful for what they have.
Too many people are greedy, which is why most manufacturing, and other services are now made or conducted overseas.
Everyone must stop and think about the past and learn too, because it’s how we grow as Humans.
I’m not saying to forget everything traumatic, because most of the time, we can’t.
What I’m saying is, educate yourselves by conducting research.
This might surprise many of you, However:
I pay my respects to all Defence & Emergency Services Personnel who have lost their lives.
Because they have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Finally,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM,
LEST WE FORGET,
