Thanks hillfilly, I can't see a bloody thing now
, . My dad was a RSA member and I attended and marched many a time with him on ANZAC day. Dawn tomorrow I will pin his medals on and attend the dawn service with out him as we laid him to rest a month ago.
AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM,
FITZY.

I don't know you Fitzy, but anyone who's lost their Dad will know this is going to be a real big one for you tomorrow. You won't be walking alone. Gordon

Sorry Fitzy ,

I can never listen to this without dreading that Anzac day .
I am thankful for however many I may have left with my dad.
Take care,

It was a day to remember those who fought and those who didn't come home,
but as the day dawned this morning I was reminded by the missing faces in the crowd of those that couldn't attend this year.
More noticeable because of our small community maybe,
but nontheless a reminder of those no longer with us.
My thoughts also for those in the forces and their families,
presently deployed overseas,
keep your heads low and please safely come home.
