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.
Lest we Forget.
The Ode comes from For the Fallen,
a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon

yes, that says it all. Now I am an adult I understand more about why we say these words at this time of the year.
I agree with Janine, the older I get the more meaningful A.N.Z.A.C. day is to me. I hope to pass that on to my boys, too.
Those words, like the last post, never fail to give me the shivers and tears. There is so much tragedy behind every word – we owe it to remember them.
