Hi Allie Yes, you are right its a special day, although that was not always the case. The Vietnam veterans were reviled, when they came back and that was the case for a long time.
When the service is commemorated around the country the basic itinerary will contain the following at least.
- Ode of Remembrance
- The Last Post
- Silence 1 minute
Two other things that I did not mention when talking about ANZAC, was that the game Twp Up is the only game that can be played around the country without a gambling license and only on ANZAC day.
The other thing is, this is what an ANZAC biscuit looks like:
One final comment on ANZAC day. I was designated driver, for some family members and I was at a local pub (a place I rarely go to, I don't drink) and I watched the ANZAC ceremony on TV. When the last Post was playing, everyone in the pub went deadly silent. That surprised even me.
Take care and I will catch you very soon.
