This year, ANZAC Day will be different, it will be the first year that many of us will miss a Dawn Service, watch the march or pay honour to traditions with a drink and a game of two-up.
As a community we should still take the time to pause on ANZAC Day and remember those men and women who made sacrifices for others during conflict and crisis.
This ANZAC Day is an opportunity to reflect on how lucky we are, the sacrifices that have been made for us to live in a free and fair nation. It is a time to reflect on the importance of peace but also how lucky we are to be Australian.
This ANZAC Day, celebrate our freedoms, honour our traditions, look after your mates and remember their sacrifice.
