Friday, April 25  

What am I doing here at 3.39 a.m?

April 25 has a special place in the heart of all Australians. It marks the day that, in World War 1, our troops landed at Gallopili.

A time of tremendous sacrifice for a fledging nation.

I have no concept of what it must have been like, other than as a man who would fight for what is right, to fight a war thousands of miles away from my home.

To all our veterans, along with every soldier of every Army, thanks for putting yourself at rsik for what you saw as right. I appreciate your sacrifice.

I'm off to the dawn service. Lest we forget.

Regards.

Brendon

P.S: I've just taken a look at this message and saw that I made a mistake with 'risk'` (or 'rsik' as I like to call it!). I'm going to leave it, because it simply isn't a big thing. Making a spelling mistake isn't a big deal.

It's days like these when I get a bit of perspective.
