Each has won a glorious grave - not that sepulchre of earth wherein they lie, but the living tomb of everlasting remembrance wherein their glory is enshrined. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of heroes. Monuments may rise and tablets be set up to them in their own land, but on far-off shores there is an abiding memorial that no pen or chisel has traced; it is graven not on stone or brass, but on the living hearts of humanity.
Take these men for your example. Like them, remember that prosperity can be only for the free, that freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.
-Pericles
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them, now and always.
To our Daddy, we love you, and we are very proud to have you as our Dad.

Anzac day is so very important to always be there..And momma had a warm heart to read that more and more young people are following and taking part than ever..

You should be very proud of your Dad - I am very proud of Paul too. He spent 7 years in special forces. We are very lucky aren't we?
Beautiful post. It's always good to remember those who made sacrifices for all of us.
But please don't do what Dragonheart and Merlin's people did! They posted on Canadian remembrance day and then disappeared forever without a word!
Your Friends,

A very Happy ANZAC Day to you. Remembering and honoring our heroes who defend us is a wonderful thing!
