Anzac Day 2012
Lest we forget
a day to reflect on the amazing strength of our country...
to thank the men & women who have given their lives for our incredible country...
to thank the men & women who continue to protect countless people on foreign shores...
we caught a ferry from the beaches into the city of Sydney...
we talked about a great grandfather from Wales, who gave his life when his boat was torpedoed & all lives were lost...
we took a minutes silence with many Sydney siders who had turned out to remember our service men & women...
the people who have fallen in battle...& the Australians who continue to watch shores afar...
Australia's history...& Australia's future...
we swelled with pride...
i watched our babies, big & aware, & i swelled with pride...
our day began on the beaches...so very early walking the puppy...
& ended with a heart of thanks...
a love for the Australian spirit...
an immense, overwhelming pride in our country...
& a renewed respect for all those *Aussie's* that put others before themselves...
the essence of the true *Australian spirit*...
we walked with our most Australian of pups with pride...
Lest we forget...
~~~~~
take time to thank those that have protected your shores
with three children, i can't imagine how the mother's & father's of those that gave their lives for their countries, across the world, cope with the loss...
but i hope that remembering those amazing souls helps those families for generation to come...
Lest we forget...
