ANZAC day is one of the most important days in our calendar.
I appreciate to no end the freedom I enjoy that they died for. 6% of the entire population of Australia was enlisted in WWI. And to see the awesome freedom that people died for being treated with contempt by so many is sad!
This country was born of sacrifice at almost every stage. So often it's taken for granted, and then abused by those not willing to participate in building back into country. So many are along for the ride, ignoring the hard work it took to get where we are.
Sure nationhood is an antiquted notion in a world of postmodern global disparate communities, but I believe it is valuable and important for an operating culture and understanding on the local level. Those diggers died for this nation, they deserve total admiration, respect and gratitute.
