Today is ANZAC day.

The day we pause, remember the sacrifice made by the few for the many. The day when we (for once) stop and pay respect to the acts and sacrifices of these people - our armed forces. Those departed and with us still, put themselves in harm's way for us to this day.

They may have not agreed with the reasons, they may still not believe in the reasons that the government of the day sends them into danger. We may even not agree with the reasons.

But believing or not, brave or not, terrified or not, they go. They risk everything for a cause. Just or not be the reason, they go and they do. Because our government - and in proxy we - ask this of them.

And some are injured.

And some die.

My thanks, respect, and admiration to you, the men and women (and their families) who made/make such a tremendous, terrible sacrifice.
