"Anzac Day"

Yesterday was Anzac Day in Australia. Similar to Veterans Day & Memorial Day. ANZAC stands for Australia & New Zealand Army Corp.. It was really a moving experience. The Australians & New Zealanders take this day very seriously. It's a coming together of Aussies & Kiwi's in remembrance to those that have fallen & those that are still serving active duty.

You will see below a man wearing fatigues that were actually those of his Grandfather's. Australians & Kiwis take this day to heart & it was so patriotic to have experienced such a moving day! Throughout the city you would see others in fatigues & wearing medals. I learned that medals on the right lapel represented descendants & medals awarded by the State & those medals on the left represented your medals of courage & honor.
