ANZAC day

[Cervus elaphus]

For Kiwis and Aussies this is a special remembrance day (ANZAC stand for Australia New Zealand Army Corp). Everyone past and present puts on their medals, joins the dwindling brothers in arms and march to the Cenotaph to pay respects to the fallen. It reminds us of the price of freedom, because that doesn't come cheap. Close to home, the Kokoda Track in New Guinea, not far from there the Pacific island of Peleliu where hundreds of US Marines paid the price, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, These were the stepping stones for the Japanese to take both ANZAC countries. Let's not forget the Commonwealth countries like South Africa, India, Canada either, who also paid the price for freedom. This fight hasn't ended yet, not by a long shot.
