ANZAC DAY- TO HONOR THE FALLEN

The Ode
They shall grow not old,

As we that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them,

Nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun,

And in the morning

We will remember them

Lest We Foget

Let Me Tell You A Story
I was 21, I was in Englad for a while, the only aussie around. I was a bomber pilot with a crew of about 6. One of them was 'Flippy Timmy' he wasnt know by any other name, just Flippy Timmy, he was a rear gunner. One day, we found out we were being tranfered to India, so on the last day, Timmy came up to me and said: "Mum said you have to look after me," So, I agreed to that, and we went to India.

It had been about two weeks, one day, a couple of bomers were going on a run, one of the bomber crews were one man short. Poor Timmy drew the card. Timmy never came back.... they were shot down.... and crashed into a mountain. I had to write to Timmy's mother, you coulkd imagine how hard... and emotional that was.

A Quote That Seems To Fit
"For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure. Sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight; our fight, was elsewhere."

- Lord Hood

Mateship
Mateship is when one Australian sticks by another, even in the most dier of situations. Mateship got many Australian soldiers through perilous battles, from Gallipoli to Kokoda. I strongly erge all Australians and New Zealanders to do what I have done to respect thoes fallen.
