Fighting for the free should be honored no matter the country of origin.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Thanks for reminding us of ANZAC day.  Now is that today, or is it tomorrow? 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Australia has always fought for freedom and defended the weak along side of the US, Canada, and the UK. If an American honors our soldiers we should also honor theirs as well.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

April 25 the landing at Gallipoli in WWI, ANZAC Day to celebrate the valor of Australian and New Zealand troops in that landing and campaign and those that followed.

Thankyou for pointing out the origin of the day it lead to a good history/geography lesson. That was one tough 8 months on the ground for those soldiers.
