25th April - is Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand - and this Anzac day is the 99th anniversary of the landing in Gallipoli.
"ANZAC
Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It
is the day we remember all Australians and New Zealanders who served
and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit
of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice,
continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national
identity".

All across Australia and New Zealand in cities and towns, overseas where servicemen are still serving, where Australians and New Zealanders gather, at memorials in France, and on the shores of Gallipoli where thousands go every Anzac Day to honour and remember, even at the Australian base in Antarctica, there are Dawn Services, parades and ceremonies to remember those that gave the supreme sacrifice.
