How was your ANZAC day?

ANZAC Day is a very special day to Australians. It’s a public holiday. The letters stand for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
Australian soldiers are called diggers. Probably this name comes from what did they do in the WW1.
Simpson is one of heroes in the WW1.He and his donkey saved a lot of soldiers on the Front Line.
He calls his partner “Duffy”. Isn’t it a lovely name? Defence Force fought for their countries. Many people are wounded and killed in the times of war. “Defend” means “to keep safe” and the people in the Australian Defence Force keep our country safe and protect us.
On ANZAC Day we show our thanks to the people who have fought for our country. It is such a special day it has been made a holiday so families can go to the march in their towns. We can wear ANZAC badge and wave Australian flags to show how proud we are.
Traditionally there are ceremonies at the site of the war memorials. A war memorial is a place that honours all those who have died in wars. Special Ode will be read during it. The Ode is part of a special poem that is said during the ANZAC Day service. The word we should say after the Ode is “Lest We Forget”. Flowers and wreaths of red poppies are laid at the bottom of war memorials as a way of saying we have remembered these brave people.
So knowing that, have you had a plan to celebrate your next ANZAC day already.
