It's the day when Australians honour those who served in any war or conflict, including those in peace keeping roles. We especially remember those who didn't come home.
In the words of my favourite hymn sung at ANZAC Dawn Services:
God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget!
Lest we forget.
