Anzac day comes to a close as I type this and it has been a day that just inspires thought. Every year i like to take a day out of my time to pay respects to those who made sacrifices for our freedom.

For the second year now I have made a kind of pilgrimage to Sydney for anzac day to pay my respects a little differently. Last year I was encouraged to join the 2/2nd Machine Gun Btln Association. The 2/2nd was the unit my grandad served with in WW2. They are keeping the spirit alive by having a reunion each year and the last few years as the number of originals get smaller they get the grandchildren to join up to keep it alive.

So this year I got rained on again and I didnt care. The lunch went down really well with 114 people attending. Next year I have been encouraged to march and who knows it may just be a good idea. It would be a good way to show my love for my grandad.

It was so good to see everyone out there supportung everyone. Its good to see the spirit lives on, even if some people dont get it.

Lest We Forget.
