ANZAC Day 2020

LEST WE FORGET

On ANZAC Day, we remember those who have fought to defend Australia in the past and honour those who continue to protect our shores.

On this very different ANZAC Day, let’s also celebrate the amazing ANZAC spirit of our doctors, nurses, teachers, storekeepers and other essential workers who are fighting to keep us all safe. Like my medico friends Marty, Nat and Angus, who continue to front up every day to their hospital shifts. Or Robert who keeps the local IGA open, and the garbage collectors who pick up every Friday, and Kevin and Robbie who keep milling flour so we can continue to bake. We’re incredibly grateful to all of them.

Let’s recognise though that for most of us, staying at home and keeping a respectful social distance from one another is also a reflection of the ANZAC spirit – we all have a very clear understanding of the need to do our part for the greater good.

I’ve always been incredibly grateful to live in Australia, but never more so than right now. It’s been a time of huge sacrifice and stress for so many people, but our great country feels united and determined. Together, we will get there. ♥

    So beautifully expressed, thank you. I hope that by our behaviour and efforts during the Covid19 pandemic we can make those brave men and woman we remember today, proud of us xx

    Thank you for your words ! Every one echoes in my heart. I have lived in Australia since childhood and have never ever been as proud to be an Aussie. Watching the morning TV shows tears inevitably filled the eyes to be part of the solemn scenes at the very quiet official celebrations but more so the small dawn services along so many streets . . .and Russell Crowe’s reading . . . .In no way do I mean to sound glib when I say that the ANZAC spirit is the best medicine against the Beast that we have . . . Lest we forget.

    My grandfather was one of many Indigenous Soldiers who fought in WW1 and sadly they were not recognised for many years
