They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Aussies/Kiwis/Ex-pats, how do you spend ANZAC day?
[Edited 4/25/10 0:55am]

I slept through dawn parade

But I watched parades around the country on Tv all day. And visited my Grandfathers grave.

Did you see a NZ helicopter crashed on the way to dawn parade?
Three killed

aussies day wasnt free of tragedy either

Commemorations in Australia were also marred by an accident, as two elderly ex-servicemen were left in a critical condition when a World War II-era military truck smashed into marchers at a parade in Melbourne. 'Something happened inside the truck which caused it to cannon into the back of the marchers and hit six people,' police Inspector Greg Doueal told Australian news agency AAP.

The truck's driver, a man who had been sitting in the rear of the vehicle and six marchers were taken to hospital for treatment, with two listed as critical, police said. -- AFP
