ANZAC Day

Bill Andrews, former president of my host Rotary club, invited me to attend ANZAC Day (April 25th) with him. ANZAC day is one of the most culturally significant events for Australian citizens, commemorating the fallen soldiers at the battle of Gallipoli in World War I. I was very honored to have been invited to this solemn ceremony, with the dawn candlelight ceremony followed by a parade and tour of the War Memorial museum. The first photo below shows Bill and I at the War Memorial Museum, Canberra, after the ANZAC Day parade. The wall we are standing in front of lists the names of the thousands of Australians that died in WWI and WWII.
