Anzac Day
April 25
Let us remember those that were lost on this
Historic Day in Australian History...
Anzac Day is a day to collectively remember how we think of ourselves
And of what makes us interdependently 'us'.
We remember a story that is potentially open
To each gender, and every generation
To each gender, and every generation
The Anzac story is a deep story and a multifaceted source of identity
That we can share in together.
"The Anzac story is part of that journey, more thoughtfully,
With less jingoism and flag waving than ever before.
Increasingly, Anzac is a word that more Australians,
Young as well as Old, can claim.
It is a story that acknowledges Fear as well as Courage,
Outrage as well as Obedience,
Skepticism as well as Idealism,
Disaster as well as Brilliance,
Horror as well as great Beauty.
