ANZAC DAY... A salute to our heroes

Posted by: Magic1278 | 21 March, 2009 - 3:36 PM

ANZAC Day... the words so powerful in the Australian vocabulary, they can bring a tear to the eye, a lump to the throat and a feeling of  Australian pride. Words that bring to mind those other unique Australian words that bore their origin in the trenches of Gallipoli in 1915 - 'Cobber', 'Digger', 'Fair Dinkum', 'True Blue', 'Mate'.

As ANZAC Day approaches, we remember these courageous Aussie men and women who took part in various conflicts throughout the twentieth century, right through to the present day.

To commemorate our heroes, Magic 1278 encourages you to share your ANZAC Day story, dedicate a message to these special Australians (both fallen and serving), post your personal memory or more... What it means to you to be a proud Australian!

Supported by VB, the Raise A Glass Appeal will aim to raise more than a million dollars to support Australian serving and ex-service men and women, and their families. The Raise A Glass Appeal begins this April, raising money and awareness for the RSL and Legacy's welfare programs.

For more information please visit www.raiseaglass.com.au

100% of the money raised will be distributed between the RSL and Legacy.VB will contribute $1 from VB cartons sold throughout April to the Raise A Glass Appeal and more than 1,500 kegs to pubs around Australia for Anzac Day celebrations, with the proceeds from the sale of these kegs also contributed.

  • I witnessed a beautiful moment at the Anzac day March on Saturday - 2 servicemen getting ready to march, 1 blind and using a cane when another veteran came up, linked arms and said you don't need that mate, i'll look after you - Lets remeber these guys for what they are - True Heroes

  • I wrote a poem on ANZAC. Hope it is not too long. Thanks.
    ANZAC MEMORIES by Judi Turnham

    Excitement filled the surrounding air
    They were young and strong and free
    They stood in line without a care
    Ready to fight for you and me.

    Families were waving with tears flowing
    They were sad and scared and proud
    Young men in uniforms not really knowing
    As they said goodbye to the crowd.

    Sam was one who went to war
    With Bill and Wes and Paul
    And together on Gallipolis shore
    Fought in the dirt and sand and all.

    Zing went the bullets as they hit their mark
    Down went one and two and three
    And many more breathed their last
    On a land just to keep us free.

    A sadder crowd was waiting in line
    Where is he – they all seemed to cry
    And amidst tears they search for a sign
    Fewer numbers under an overcast sky

    Sam was the only one standing there
    His mates, they all died that day
    They’d given their all because they cared
    What words were there to say

    There on the dock with grinning smiles
    Was a wife, a boy and a girl
    Calling ‘Daddy’ and the many miles
    Disappeared in a dance and a whirl.

    And every ANZAC day we march
    As proud as that very first day
    To thank our heroes as they walk past
    Thank You seems not enough to say.

    ANZAC is not about glorifying war
    Or reveling in killings and guns
    But to thank those brave who left our shore
    To save our Aussie land under the sun
