Lest we forget...



Today, Australians celebrate Anzac Day.
Lest we forget the lives and loves lost in all conflicts around the world as today Australians respect and honour the tradition of Anzac Day. Let us Singaporeans living and working here remember and embrace, too, what the  Australians have extended the spirit of Anzac beyond their shore into the hearts of all those who have known or know someone just like them who has sacrificed for his and her country.
Traditionally, Anzac has become synonymous with humble, selfless and self deprecating service whatever field of occupation or profession to help your mates. Lets us embrace what Australians have embraced since the first world war and beyond has been the humour and selflessness applied to helping others in otherwise trying circumstances. These can be their military, natural disaster, personal tragedy or simply in advocating and defence of the vulnerable.
Most of all lets us honour Australian and Allied Servicemen and women past and present.
Lest we forget.

    Thank you for visiting my blog, which I have neglected since my son taught how to use the Facebook. :)

  2. I understand what you are saying here. It is so much easier to interact with people on Facebook; but there is no depth, like we find on blogs.
