Well today is ANZAC day. For those outside of Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC day is like Armistice Day for the rest of the Western World, except there is a deep resonance in our culture that grows stronger each year, rather than fades through the mists of time. These days it’s popular to decry war, but ANZAC day cannot be easily dismissed by a simple cliche. ANZAC day is not about the battles or the generals, it is about the ordinary men and women who risked and sacrificed their lives for our nation.
