ANZAC DAY Australia
Today, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and spirit of the Australian and New Zealand forces.

Lest we forget. 
White Feather written for the album Remembrance, a tribute to the ANZACs to pay tribute to those who fought for our freedom. The song tells the story of an Australian soldier during World War I, a man who embodies the strength, fear, and heartache that so many of our soldiers experienced. It’s my way of capturing a piece of our history, and the emotions that go along with it, in the hope that we can continue to remember and appreciate their sacrifices.

LEST WE FORGET
Lest we forget
We remember the 1 in 8 Merchant Seafarers who died in world wars and all those who served our country.

Re: ANZAC DAY Australia
There was the Anzac day march here in Melbourne today.
All services represented bar one.
Some years ago so saddened by the fact there was no MN represented in the march I wrote to the minister for defense.
He replied telling me they would always be there in the march.
For some years they were, then this year none!!!!
Sad point to a great day of remembrance and reflection.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
